Location

The hospital is located in the town of Nkozi, in the parliamentary constituency of Mawokota County South, in Mpigi District, in Uganda's Central Region. This location is approximately 85 kilometres (53 mi), by road, southwest of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, on the Kampala-Masaka Highway.[1] The coordinates of the hospital are not known at this time, because the hospital does not yet appear on most publicly available maps, as of February 2010.

Overview

Nkozi Hospital is a rural, private, community, non-profit hospital, but no one is turned away for lack of funds to pay for treatment. The hospital was built in the 1940s. During the Uganda-Tanzania War, which toppled Idi Amin, Nkozi Hospital received extensive damage to buildings and equipment. The X-ray unit damaged in that war was only replaced in 2007, through a donation from the Japanese government.[2]

The hospital is owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala. It is accredited to the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB) and is managed by the Sisters of Immaculate Heart of Mary Reparatrix. Nkozi Hospital is staffed by three doctors who perform surgeries, clinical assistants, midwives, nurses, nursing assistants and other support staff, totaling 107 people in December 2004. In addition, the hospital serves as the teaching hospital for students pursuing the degree of Master of Science in Health Services Management at Uganda Martyrs University, also in Nkozi.[3]
