Kisiizi HospitalFacility

Kisiizi Hospital is rooted in the 1920s East Africa Revival. Even though the peak of the revival was years before the founding of the hospital, it informed its foundation, and still influences its ethos even today. It led to strong local Christian leadership with a strong local church in the Kigezi area, coupled with close collaboration with the then Ruanda Mission, later to become reunited with Church Mission Society (CMS). Mission Hospitals were set up in Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, including one in Kabale, started by Dr. Leonard Sharp. The hospital is a private non-profit institution with a bed capacity of 250 plus 10 cots/incubators in the Special Care Baby Unit. The hospital is a fee-paying hospital, although no one is turned away due to inability to pay. The fees collected from the patients cover only about 40 percent of the total hospital expenses.
