Equity Bank Uganda’s senior leadership visited Microhaem Scientifics this week to review progress on the company’s ambitious expansion of its in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) manufacturing plant. This marks a pivotal moment in the drive to boost Uganda’s local capacity for medical diagnostics.

Microhaem Scientifics, East Africa’s leading medical manufacturing firm, announced the visit on June 19, underscoring the strategic collaboration with Equity Bank Uganda in advancing regional health solutions.

“Today, we hosted the senior leadership of Equity Bank Uganda at Microhaem Scientifics to review progress on our IVD plant expansion,” the company posted on social media. “This strategic growth boosts local diagnostic manufacturing to meet Africa’s rising health needs.”

The expansion of Microhaem’s IVD capabilities is critical for improving access to timely and accurate diagnostics in a region where laboratory services are essential to combating infectious and non-communicable diseases. Equity Bank’s engagement with the company signals a growing recognition of the private sector’s role in driving health system transformation through targeted investment and financing.

The visit follows another key engagement at Microhaem on June 18, when the company hosted Uganda’s Ministry of Health and representatives from the Global Fund. During that visit, stakeholders toured laboratories and engaged with staff to see firsthand the impact of locally manufactured diagnostics and lab systems on national health outcomes.

Gift Shoko visits Vision Group

Meanwhile, Equity Bank Uganda is deepening its footprint across sectors with a broader push to foster national development through strategic partnerships. Managing Director Gift Shoko earlier paid a courtesy visit to Vision Group CEO Don Wanyama to explore expanded collaboration in media and storytelling.

The bank lauded the media house’s role in empowering communities and amplifying Ugandan talent through platforms like the National Martyrs Day Choral Festival.

“We are proud to work alongside Vision Group to tell powerful stories, uplift local talent, and support livelihoods across Uganda,” said Shoko.

As Uganda pushes for self-sufficiency in health commodities and more inclusive economic growth, collaborations between finance, health, and media sectors are emerging as powerful tools to shape a healthier, more empowered future.
