St. Kizito Hospital Matany

St. Kizito Hospital Matany
P.O Box 46 Moroto , Karamoja Uganda
This is a Private Not-For-Profit (PNFP) institution with social and spiritual objectives, belonging to the Catholic Diocese of Moroto (North-Eastern Uganda). It was built at the beginning of the 70’s with the help of MISEREOR (a German Church Organisation) on request of the Comboni missionaries and has since then provided a very essential comprehensive package of medical/health services to the population of the Karamoja region. The region is an extremely remote, underdeveloped and relatively insecure region of Uganda with very poor health indicators.
Annexed to the Hospital is a Nursing and Midwife School. Due to its relatively well developed and well maintained infrastructure, the hospital is a de facto regional referral health facility for the entire Karamoja Region. This includes the neighbouring districts of Teso (Amuria, Katakwi, Soroti) and annually admits 11 – 12,000 inpatients and consults 40,000 outpatients
