Any recommendations for good medical centers, doctors and hospitals in Kampala

Avya

We went to Hosp near galagalga , wrong spelling , but you’ll  find it . Very good . Everyone’s qualified and professional unlike the UK where we come from. Our daughter got sick from the water I think . They diagnosed exactly  what it was with in a few hours . She was given a bed and healed with care and the right medication with in two days .
Uk would have been two weeks to be seen by a long line of clueless trainee HCA’s fumbling about with drugs and machines they know nothing about .
Safe in UG . Zero Corona too.
Just don’t go to any big new shiny hospitals in UG They can be the same as uk - spent all there money on image and nothing on any doctors nurses and surgeons . Back street ones can be dangerous too , they will diagnose everything as malaria to get your money.
Sorry I couldn’t give you the name of Hosp I’ve mentioned, you should find it easily . If you ever have the misfortune of being admitted make sure you order their excellent home cooked ugandan hospital food , will cure all ills on its own

Zero Corona in Uganda?!

Read my blog

This links to other resources about COVID in UG

Expats generally use:

The Surgery
IHK Hospital and IMC clinics
They are better at some services than others and all have critics...!

Recommended to me this week by a very knowledgeable long-term expat. All in Kampala:

Alexandra Medical Centre, Yusuf Lule Rd
TMT hospital, Naalya
Village Clinic, Village Mall, Bugolobi

Good advice from the US Embassy . Make sure you keep away from that processed stuff in those  supermarkets too Americans .  Got to keep your weight right down to fight from Corona . Stay safe , only eat local , plenty of matoke . !!!!!
