Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and the Aga Khan last week laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art teaching hospital that is expected to reduce the costs Ugandans incur in seeking healthcare abroad.

The Aga Khan University Hospital, to be built on Nakawa hill in Kampala city, will be part of an integrated healthcare system in East Africa dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare, education and research.
