  • Masaka Regional Referral Hospital
    Masaka Regional Referral Hospital Having started in 1927 as a treatment centre for World War I veterans, Masaka Regional Referral Hospital was elevated to regional referral status in 1996. Mugisha Ereazer, the principal Hospital Administrator says the hospital has a 330 bed capacity with an annual admission of 23,456 patients giving a bed occupancy rate of 90.6%. With the completion of a new mega hospital facility, the bed capacity is expected to increase to about 540 beds. The hospital's catchment is spread across eight districts ± Masaka, Rakai, Lyantonde, Lwengo, Ssembabule, Bukomamnsimbi, Kalungu and Kalagala, taking care of over two million people. The infrastructural capacity of Masaka regional referral hospital has been limited too. Masaka Regional Referral hospital offers all services expected of a regional referral health facility but also offers nutritional support for both children and adults. It also handles complicated paediatric and gynaecological cases including carrying out fistula repairs. It has also teamed up with MIFUMI ± a national NGO project ± to offer support to victims of gender-based violence from Burundi, Rwanda, the DR Congo and Tanzania. Being along the busy Mombasa - Kampala - Mbarara - Kigali Highway makes it the first point of call for patients mainly accident victims from Burundi, Rwanda, the DR Congo and Tanzania. Consequently , the hospital©s average daily contact with patients is about 2,000. At Masaka Hospital, the patients are very excited about how they are treated and now refer to the hospital as `Mulago'. The staff members are overstretched especially in the maternity ward. Up to 40 babies can be born in one night with 3 midwives on duty.
