Healthcare Improvements in Uganda

Kironde Education and Health Fund works closely with our partner, Dr. Paul Mugambe, to provide him with the necessary funds that will give community members the greatest access to treatment possible. Our donated funds to Dr. Mugambe has aided his inpatient care and outpatient visits in several ways:

In addition to monetary funding, KEHF sent an intern to Marie Stella Medicare Hospice Center to work alongside Dr. Mugambe.

KEHF is looking for healthcare partners to help expand and improve his efforts and to raise money to buy a van that will facilitate his home visits.

Dr. Mugambe takes in patients that cannot pay bribes. In local hospitals staff are underpaid, if at all, and due to a lack of supervision patients must pay a bribes to be seen by a physician. Because of this, paying his rent is burdensome and the landlord is constantly gouging him for more and more money. He needs a facilty of his own in order to continue to do the good work.

It is the Kironde Fund goal to raise $140,000 to this facility or build a new facility for Dr. Mugambe. We are thankful for several generous folks who will be matching new donations.  He explains the need for a new facility in this video.
