St Francis Naggalama Hospital is a nice, clean,<br />

and well-organized 100-bed rural general<br />

hospital in Mukono District, Uganda. Great strides<br />

have been made to identify gaps in service<br />

delivery including the need for a private ward<br />

which was constructed by the efforts of Eva Landeggar to whom we owe a<br />

lot of gratitude. The Mother Kevin Ward was officially opened by His Lordship<br />

Christopher Kakooza on June 18, 2022.<br />

The global health fraternity choosing to visit and/or work at St Francis Naggalama<br />

Hospital is a beneficial tropical adventure. Visitors are accommodated in a selfcontained<br />

guest house surrounded by greenery and complete with a television,<br />

kitchen, computer, and internet with a spacious back veranda for your rest,<br />

reflection, and comfort. The local needy, sick, and yet smiling patients make<br />

the community experience—especially the Palliative Care services sponsored<br />

by Professor Randi Diamond and Dr. Howard Eison—quite unique. The discovery<br />

of dusty village roads to reach patients leaves characteristic gray patches on<br />

white clinical coats.<br />
