Overview

Kiboga Hospital first opened at a different location in the town, as a dispensary and maternity unit in 1960. Following lobbying by the area member of parliament, construction began at the present suite for a fully fledged hospital in the late 1960s. The present hospital complex was commissioned in 1973. The hospital serves parts of the following districts: Kiboga, Kyankwanzi, Kibaale, Nakaseke, Mubende, and Hoima[1] The hospital, whose bed capacity is 210,[1] is severely understaffed, underfunded and operates with old antiquated equipment.[5][6]
