About Kampala Independent Hospital (KIH)
Who We Are
Kampala Independent Hospital (KIH) is a leading private healthcare institution and part of a multinational healthcare management organisation with operations in London, New York, and Miami, Florida, USA.
We are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred medical services to individuals and families from Uganda, across Africa, and the global community.
Our Mission
To deliver exceptional healthcare through advanced medical technology, highly skilled professionals, and a compassionate, team-based approach that prioritises patient safety, dignity, and well-being.
Our Approach to Care
At KIH, we believe that the best medical outcomes are achieved through collaboration. Our multidisciplinary teams work closely together to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and continuous patient support.
We utilise modern medical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to manage complex medical and diagnostic cases. However, technology alone does not define us—our people do.
Advanced Technology & Global Resources
As part of a multinational healthcare network, KIH has access to advanced 21st-century medical technologies that are often unavailable in many hospitals across Africa due to high costs. These resources enable us to provide world-class care within our local setting.
Our Diverse & Skilled Team
Our physicians, nurses, and support staff represent a wide range of medical and surgical specialities. Together, they speak more than 50 languages, allowing us to communicate effectively with patients from Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, all regions of Uganda, and the expatriate community.
This diversity ensures culturally sensitive care and clear communication at every stage of treatment.
Ethical & Patient-Focused Practice
All KIH physicians and consultants are salaried professionals. This structure eliminates financial pressure and ensures that medical decisions are based solely on patient needs. We recommend only necessary tests, treatments, and referrals, guided by best clinical practices.
Convenient Specialist Services
Our integrated facility allows patients to access multiple medical specialists under one roof. This eliminates the need for unnecessary travel and ensures faster, more coordinated care.
Comfort, Cleanliness & Compassion
We maintain the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and comfort. Our hospital environment is designed to be clean, welcoming, and supportive, helping patients and families feel at ease during their stay. We combine traditional values of compassion with modern medical excellence to provide personalised care for every patient.
