There are three separate hospitals in the Kampala area which are available to our volunteers: Mulago Hospital, Nsambya Hospital, and Kawempe City Council Hospital. Mulago is normally the busiest hospital, although there are ample opportunities at each facility for any sort of medical experience you can imagine.
Our medical volunteers have additional opportunities via Community Outreach programs, where volunteers work with our local partner organizations to conduct workshops on health and hygiene. For example, workshop participants are provided with simple water filtration systems and taught how to use them. This type of work adds an interesting dimension to volunteering at an urban hospital in or around Kampala.
