TMR International Hospital Takes Men’s Health Campaign to Parliament as It Celebrates 10 Years

TMR International Hospital has marked a decade of delivering healthcare services in Uganda with a special men's health medical outreach at Parliament of Uganda, aimed at promoting preventive healthcare, early diagnosis and improved access to medical services among leaders and other participants.

The medical outreach, held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, was organised in collaboration with Parliament and the Ministry of Health ahead of International Men's Day, which is observed annually on November 19.

The initiative brought healthcare services closer to Members of Parliament and other participants, encouraging men to prioritise regular medical check-ups, understand their health risks and seek early medical attention before illnesses become complicated.

The exercise formed part of TMR International Hospital's 10th anniversary celebrations, reflecting the institution's commitment to extending healthcare beyond its hospital facilities through community engagement, institutional partnerships and preventive health programmes.

During the outreach, TMR's multidisciplinary medical team conducted health assessments, collected laboratory samples and provided consultations and health education to participants.

The services offered included blood pressure and blood glucose screening, lipid profiles to assess cholesterol levels, liver function tests (LFTs) for Members of Parliament and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for eligible male participants.

Medical consultations and health education were also provided to help participants understand their health status, identify potential risk factors and appreciate the importance of seeking timely medical attention.

The laboratory investigations are expected to guide personalised medical follow-up through the hospital's TMR Golden Living Care Program, ensuring that participants can receive appropriate guidance and continued care based on their individual results.

The hospital also used the occasion to introduce participants to its TMR Golden Living App, a digital healthcare platform designed to improve access to medical services and strengthen continuity of care.

Through the application, users can book appointments with doctors, access digital health records, receive medication reminders and manage their ongoing healthcare needs. 

Leadership Champions Men's Health

The outreach was attended by TMR International Hospital Executive Director, Dr. Daniel M. Talemwa, who joined the medical team in conducting the exercise.

The event was graced by the Government Chief Whip, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng, as Chief Guest, highlighting the importance of leadership involvement in promoting public health awareness and encouraging communities to embrace preventive healthcare.

The engagement at Parliament provided an opportunity to draw attention to the need for men to take greater responsibility for their health, particularly through regular screening and early detection of conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Men often face competing professional, social and family responsibilities that can lead them to postpone medical appointments and overlook routine health assessments.

Through the initiative, TMR International Hospital sought to challenge this tendency by encouraging men to make their health a priority and adopt a proactive approach to healthcare.

The hospital emphasised that regular medical examinations, appropriate laboratory investigations and timely consultations are important in identifying potential health complications and improving overall well-being. 

Celebrating a Decade of Healthcare Excellence

The Parliament outreach is part of TMR International Hospital's broader commitment to celebrating its 10 years of service through initiatives that promote healthier communities and improve access to quality medical care.

Over the past decade, the hospital has continued to position itself as a healthcare institution committed to patient-centred services, medical innovation, specialised treatment and partnerships aimed at improving health outcomes.

Its anniversary celebrations have also provided an opportunity to reflect on the importance of taking healthcare services beyond traditional hospital settings and engaging communities and institutions in preventive health programmes.

By partnering with Parliament and the Ministry of Health, TMR demonstrated the value of collaboration between healthcare providers and public institutions in advancing health awareness and encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their well-being.

The hospital is encouraging public institutions, employers and individuals to invest in regular medical screening and workplace wellness programmes as important foundations for healthier communities and a more productive nation.
