Bombo Military HospitalFacility

Bombo Military Hospital is the largest military hospital in Uganda. The hospital is located on the premises of Bombo Military Barracks, which is the headquarters of the Land Forces of the Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF), approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) by road, north of Mulago National Referral Hospital, in Kampala, Uganda's capital city. The hospital serves as a referral center for the various health units within the UPDF. However, because of the severe need from the surrounding community, the hospital attends to civilians from the surrounding communities. In 2014, the hospital attended to 2,145 baby deliveries, averaging nearly 6 new babies daily. In September 2012, the hospital began collaborating with Makerere University Hospital's Walter Reed Project to improve laboratory services at the hospital.
