The Aga Khan University Hospital in Kampala, Uganda is a 600-bed state-of-the-art facility that will consist of a medical education block and housing facilities, and is expected to provide advanced forms of specialist treatment and care.
Located at the junction of Jinja Road and New Port Bell Road in the heart of Kampala, the facility is expected to create an unrivalled opportunity for Ugandans to access to world-class medical and nursing services when they are in need of it, reducing the need to travel abroad when seeking treatment. This will lead to both economical and social benefits for the country.
The Aga Khan University Hospital in Kampala is also expected to train doctors, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals who have the competence and the confidence to provide excellent care. This will lead to the transformation of healthcare institutions around the country.
Patient Welfare Programme (PWP)
Patients who cannot afford medical fees will be able to access healthcare through AKU’s Patient Welfare Programme (PWP). The Hospital will seek to become the first in Uganda accredited by the U.S-based Joint Commission International.
