HOIMA Hospital is to use sh184b to improve facilities in the next 30 years, the hospital medical superintendent, Francis Muwanga, has said.
Muwanga recently unveiled the hospital’s plan focusing on infrastructure development and the acquisition of advanced medical equipment.
He told a stakeholders’ meeting at the Kolping Hotel in Hoima that under the plan, the hospital would build a new administration block, staff houses, roads, a children’s wing, bigger wards and a private wing. The project will be funded by the Government.
“We want to build wards that can accommodate 1,500 beds,†Muwanga explained.
He added that the new administrative block will have a shopping center and a bank.
Muwanga noted that the hospital would also set up an information and communication technology center to for staff to carry out research online.
Muwanga said the hospital had begun implementing some of the projects, adding that construction of staff houses started two months ago.
The hospital, which serves seven districts of Masindi, Kiboga, Kiryandongo, Buliisa, Kibaale, Kyankwanzi and Hoima, will also set up a maintenance workshop. The hospital consultant and planner, Joel Aita, said lacked land for expansion.
Speaking at the same function, the Hoima LC5 boss, George Bagonza, promised to help the hospital acquire the boma grounds land for expansion.
He said he had talked to the district council about the issue and most of the members welcomed the idea.
“We shall make sure this project turns into a reality. We shall have to relocate the ground to another place to pave way for development,†he said.
