Kiboga General Hospital, also Kiboga Hospital, Kiboga Main Hospital or Kiboga District Hospital, is a hospital in the Central Region of Uganda.[1]

Location

The hospital is located on the Kampala–Hoima Road, in the central business district of the town of Kiboga, approximately 77 kilometres (48 mi) southeast of Hoima Regional Referral Hospital.[2] This is about 121 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Mulago National Referral Hospital.[3] The coordinates of Kiboga General Hospital are:0°54'43.0"N, 31°46'35.0"E (Latitude:0.911937; Longitude:31.776378).[4]

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 1960's. 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]
