Juliet Waiswa
The centre will also aid residents of the neighbouring districts; Mityana, Fort portal and Kyenjojo.
The Mubende district director of health services, Dr. Wilson Mubiru, said: "We are now going to have voluntary counselling, testing and outreach programmes. This will save people's time and money they would have spent travelling to Kampala for treatment."
The director of JCRC, Peter Mugyenyi, said the clinic will provide free treatment. It is fully equipped with modern blood screen equipment and a CD4 count machine.
The clinic will also handle emergency cases and network with Mubende Hospital.
