A glance into KAMPALA INTERNATIONAL UNI. TEACHING HOSPITAL-THE CLEANEST HOSPITAL IN WESTERN UGANDA

Описание: I wish to welcome you to Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIU-TH), the first and the biggest private teaching hospital in Uganda located at Ishaka in Bushenyi district. It was established in 2007 at Kampala International University Western Campus to enhance the quality of health science professionals' training while at the same time complementing the efforts of the government of Uganda towards provision of quality, equitable and accessible preventive and curative health services to the people of Uganda.

Kampala International University Teaching Hospital is the first and biggest teaching hospital in Uganda, with a bed capacity of 700, according to the Hospital Administrator. It has an outpatient department (OPD) as well as a top-of-the-range private wing.


Patients come from as far as Bushenyi, Sheema, Mitooma, Mbarara, Kasese, Rukungiri, Kanungu, Ntungamo and Ibanda districts to receive quality services at the hospital.

I was quite impressed with the cleanliness at the hospital, with the dirty and smelly environment common at various hospitals but absent here. Cleaners stand at attention to quickly erase any dirt that may surface.

The staff too was commonplace, with hospital guides at the behest of patients who need directions and help to reach their destinations. I was surprised that there were even customer service personnel assigned specifically to take care of every patient’s needs.

Ms. Kanyange said most of the patients in Western Uganda trust the hospital even more than public health centers because of its unrivaled quality medical care.

For instance, the maternity ward has its own fully-fledged theatre, within the ward, just to carry out operations on women who may develop complications during childbirth. This helps to reduce the child and maternal mortality rates, a persistent problem for Uganda and other developing countries.
