On Friday, several companies took back home accolades at the 2023 Consumer Choice Awards held at the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala.
Stanbic Bank Uganda, for the second consecutive year, emerged as the overall winner of the “best commercial bank in Uganda”.
“We wish to dedicate this award to the over one million customers of Stanbic Bank that we serve through our mainstream banking channels & FlexiPay; we thank you for your continued loyalty and support,” said Israel Arinaitwe, Head of Personal Banking.
He added: “Stanbic Bank is committed to transforming the customer service experience, by investing in self-service channels that give our clients the flexibility to access our services anywhere, anytime and at their convenience.”
Among the surprise winners was Rosewell Hospital which has been in the news following a High Court order for a DNA test on a newborn baby, Khryst Alinda, who was allegedly detained by the hospital after the child’s parents failed to pay Shs4m medical bills.
The parents of the baby, through their lawyer Geoffrey Turyamusiima, said they are not sure if the baby handed to them by the hospital was their actual child, prompting the order by High Court judge Esther Nambayo.
Despite the negative publicity, the hospital emerged as the best winner of this year’s edition of the Consumers Choice Awards under the category of “Best Women and Fertility Hospital”.
Broll Uganda emerged as the Platinum Winner in the category of “Best Real Estate Consultants & Developers in Uganda”.
