President Museveni has said that he is ready for the ground breaking ceremony for the Aga Khan University Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. The President confirmed this on Thursday 9 May 2019 while meeting with the diplomatic representative of the Aga Khan Development Network and a senior executive team from the Aga Khan University Mr Firoz Rasul at State House Entebbe. “This is a very important initiative for us as it is for the Government of Uganda. Extensive work has gone into researching the disease burden and healthcare needs of the people of Uganda, the urban planning considerations for this thriving city of Kampala and the dire need for the development of healthcare professionals. This deep analysis has helped us to shape our designs and plans, and we are now ready to move to the next phase of construction,” Mr Rasul said.
