President Museveni and His Highness the Aga Khan will tomorrow officially inaugurate the new Aga Khan University (AKU) campus in Kampala, marking a historic milestone for the university’s presence in Uganda and the broader East African region. The event will also feature the groundbreaking ceremony for the Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala, a 101-bed facility set to transform healthcare delivery in the country. The hospital is expected to be completed by 2027. AKU president Dr Sulaiman Shahabuddin emphasised that the campus’s location in Nakawa will enable AKU to collaborate closely with local communities, conduct joint research, and deliver academic and healthcare services in partnership with Ugandan institutions. “The campus is remarkable,” he added, “featuring a seven-storey university centre, a nine-storey student residence, and a four-storey ambulatory care facility, the Nakawa Specialty Medical Centre.”
