Overview

Kamuli Mission Hospital is a private, non-profit, community hospital owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jinja and is accredited by the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau. The hospital is administered by the Little Sisters of St. Francis. The planned bed-capacity of the hospital is 160. However, often, more than 200 patients are admitted, with some (especially children), sharing beds and others sleeping on the floor. The hospital was constructed in the 1940s, although it has undergone several renovations since.[2] The hospital operates on income derived from patient fees, donations and intermittent government subsidies. However, no patient is turned away because of inability to pay. The hospital staff operate in an environment of limited resources and great demand for health services.[3]

gollark: I saw that yesterday and SIMILARLY complained that it's not well-defined.
gollark: So if you have an object with the left half in shadow or something, even though a camera sees each side as having *wildly* different colors, you'll just think "oh, that's yellow" or something like that.
gollark: Human color processing isn't measuring something like "what amounts of reddish/greenish/blueish light is falling on this set of cones", it's trying to work out "what object is this and what are the lighting conditions".
gollark: Besides that, you don't perceive colors that way.
gollark: The problem is that what hex code you get out of a picture depends entirely on stuff like lighting and probably camera calibration.
