Access to health service is extremely limited because patients especially women with their under-five (children at the back) must walk long distances to access the health services.

Because of these difficulties, some diseases like Malaria, Measles, Malnutrition, Diarrhea, Dirty wounds / infection, Eye infection and Jiggers are common in Mayuge as it is nearby lake shores. Yet all of these diseases can be prevented if there is proper education on health care to the people in Uganda.

The situation is exacerbated for those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable in some other way like the very poor or those orphaned.

Long distances (5sq km) moved by patients (women) without a health care center leads to maternal mortality and morbidity rate caused by poor material conditions and low social status compounded by lack of awareness and poor seeking health behaviors hence remain endangered and therefore a continuing social problem in the area.

The establishment of Alban Islamic Health Centre in Mayuge district can help to handle both preventive health care and curative services for the ever-increasing population to be immediately reached and accessible.
