The hospital complex will sit on 60 acres of land in Nakawa reclaimed from 160 acre Nakawa-Naguru land which was in 2005 given to an investor, Opec Prime property, for redevelopment into a mega satellite city. The hospital is one of the several investments by the AKDN. “Over the years the AKDN has employed a uniquely diverse approach to its work here in Uganda. It consists of development agencies, each bringing a different kind of intervention; some focusing on economic, social and cultural development,” Dr Rugunda added.
