100-bed hospital
A modern private hospital at the town-side gate, planned with the German healthcare planners Iproplan.
Partners and design being worked out.
Artist's impressionThe COVID-19 pandemic showed how far behind Uganda's medical services can be. The Foundation wants to help close that gap with state-of-the-art facilities and well-trained doctors, close to home for the people of Hoima.
In September 2023 the Foundation set out a 100-bed private hospital in a concept note to the Ministry of Health, planned in partnership with Iproplan, a German healthcare planning firm. The Foundation provides the land, permits and approvals, and Iproplan the planning, design and equipping.
Plans include e-medicine, and referral packages with partner hospitals abroad for treatment that is not yet available locally. The hospital will work hand in hand with the Byron Magezi Sickle Cell Foundation, a non-profit started by the family.
