The Aga Khan University (AKU) has marked a historic milestone by inaugurating its 60-acre campus in Kampala, Uganda — its largest global expansion since the university’s founding in 1983. The event also celebrated the start of construction for the Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala, reinforcing AKU’s mission to bring world-class education and health care to East Africa. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by His Highness the Aga Khan, Chancellor of AKU, and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of Uganda. “At this campus, AKU will invest in developing the potential of Ugandans,” His Highness the Aga Khan said. “My hope is that ambitious young people and skilled professionals will not need to leave their home country to study or practice at the highest level. And many Ugandans will not have to travel abroad to obtain advanced health care.”
