Ugandans will now be able to get a wide range of specialized outpatient healthcare services at the new Aga Khan University Hospital’s Nakawa Specialty Centre located on Old Port Bell Road.

The Centre offers chemotherapy, dialysis as well and diagnostic imaging such as CT scans, mammography, neurophysiology, and ultrasound. It also offers access to an array of specialists including gynaecology, paediatrics, cardiology, oncology, and endocrinology, among others. Physiotherapy, dentistry, laboratory and pharmacy services are also available.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Centre, State Minister for Health Margaret Muhanga, lauded the Aga Khan University for its continued investment in the country’s health and education sectors.

“The government is committed to providing quality healthcare to all citizens and we are happy to walk this journey with our worthy partners like the Aga Khan University. We look forward to the completion of the Main Hospital in a few years,” she said.

The Nakawa Specialty Centre joins the Hospital’s three other medical centres in Kampala, which are located at the Acacia Mall, Metroplex Mall Naalya and the DTB building.

“By opening this centre, we are restating our commitment to providing world-class health care services in Uganda,” said Rashid Khalani, CEO of the Aga Khan University Hospital. “We have installed state-of-the-art equipment and technology that will ensure timely, accurate and advanced diagnosis that will inform timely treatment.”
