Overview
Itojo hospital is a rural hospital built in the 1968 by the administration of Prime Minister Milton Obote. It serves Ntungamo District together with some parts of neighboring Northern Tanzania and Northeastern Rwanda. It has a bed capacity of 120, although sometimes many more patients are admitted, with many sleeping on the floor.[1]
Over the years the hospital infrastructure has deteriorated. In 2006, the then area Member of Parliament, who is also the First Lady of Uganda, Janet Museveni, started to solicit funding from both internal and external sources, to rehabilitate the hospital.[5]
The construction work was contracted out to Excel Construction Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Madhvani Group.[6] In June 2011, Egypt donated pharmaceuticals, an electricity generator and other hospital supplies to assist in the rehabilitation of the hospital.[7]
