About us

A community hospital built so care is never too far away

A community-focused health facility in Ssumbwe, Bulaga, Wakiso District — serving individuals and families who would otherwise travel far for treatment.

Who we are

Sumbwe Community Hospital was founded to make healthcare more accessible. We serve Wakiso District and the communities around it.

We offer outpatient and inpatient care, maternal and antenatal services, laboratory and pharmacy support, ambulance and emergency care, general medicine and community-based rehabilitation. We are also developing a surgical theatre to bring essential surgery closer to home.

A message from our director

“Healthcare is a basic human need, not a privilege.”

We started Sumbwe Community Hospital to offer quality, compassionate and affordable care — without long journeys or financial barriers. Our team will keep improving our services, supporting our health workers and bringing more essential care closer to home.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner and donor who makes this possible. Together we are building a community where everyone can get the care they need.
