Overview
Bugiri General Hospital is a 100-bed, government-owned hospital. It serves Bugiri District and parts of the districts of Iganga, Busia, Namayingo Mayuge and Namutumba.[1] [4][5]
The hospital was built in 1967[1] by the Obote I government. Over the years, the hospital infrastructure has deteriorated, the equipment has become antiquated and hospital has become under-staffed. The remaining workers are overworked, underpaid, poorly funded and under-motivated.[6]
Renovations
In November 2015, the Uganda Ministry of Health contracted Alliance Technical Services Limited to carry out repairs to the hospital at a budgeted sum of UGX:699,856,460. The repair work is expedience to conclude in August 2016.[1]
