C-Care Uganda has officially commissioned C-Care Mbarara Hospital, a fully fledged multi-speciality facility that significantly strengthens access to decentralised specialised healthcare in Western Uganda.
The new hospital represents a strategic expansion of C-Care’s healthcare network and builds on its 12-year presence in the region through C-Care IMC, which previously focused on outpatient services.
The investment addresses a long-standing market gap for a full continuum of care in the region, enabling patients to access consultation, diagnostics, admission, surgery, maternity services, recovery, and follow-up under one integrated system.
By reducing referrals to Kampala or abroad, the hospital is expected to lower treatment costs, shorten care timelines, and improve clinical outcomes.
C-Care Mbarara Hospital operates daily across multiple medical specialities and is supported by a 24-hour emergency department, admissions wing, specialised maternity unit, advanced operating theatres, and a comprehensive radiology department.
An Intensive Care Unit is planned as part of a phased expansion strategy, reflecting the group’s long-term growth outlook.
Beyond healthcare delivery, the hospital is poised to contribute to regional economic development through job creation for medical specialists, nurses, allied health professionals, and non-clinical staff, reinforcing C-Care’s commitment to local capacity building.
Speaking at the launch, Andrew Mugalu, General Manager of C-Care IMC, highlighted the organisation’s focus on operational excellence and scale. He noted that C-Care Uganda now serves over 50,000 patients monthly across 22 facilities nationwide, underscoring sustained growth driven by patient trust.
City Health Officer Dr Keiruki Mugisha welcomed the investment, citing its role in strengthening healthcare infrastructure and improving equitable access to specialised care in Western Uganda.
The Mbarara hospital further advances C-Care Uganda’s post-2023 rebrand expansion, positioning the group as a key private-sector player in Uganda’s evolving healthcare ecosystem.
