Alexandra Medical Center has issued an official statement expressing profound grief following the death of Hon. Hellen Nakimuli, the District Woman Representative for Kalangala.
The legislator passed away on April 19, 2026, while receiving treatment at the facility, sending shockwaves through her constituency and the nation at large.
In a statement released on Tuesday, April 21, the medical center’s CEO, Dr. Castro Kisuule, described the loss as one that has “weighed deeply” on the entire medical team. The facility sought to humanize the late legislator beyond her political title, remembering her as a daughter, a leader, and a devoted servant of the people of Uganda.
“She was not just a patient,” Dr. Kisuule noted. “The loss of any patient is never routine for us. It is always personal.”
The hospital confirmed they have remained in close contact with the bereaved family, offering continued support and prayers. Dr. Kisuule emphasized that the specific medical team in charge of her care remains available to the family during this grieving period.
Amid the somber atmosphere, the facility also took the opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to “compassionate, ethical care” for all patients, regardless of their social standing.
Hon. Nakimuli’s passing is a significant blow to the Kalangala district and the broader Ugandan political landscape, where she was known for her advocacy and dedication to her constituents.
As the public reacts to the news, Alexandra Medical Center has called for calm and patience.
The management urged the public to prioritize prayers for the family as they navigate the difficult days ahead.
