Herona Community Hospital Kisoga Launches Specialized Squint Surgery Services
Herona Community Hospital Kisoga is pleased to announce the introduction of specialized squint (strabismus) surgery services, positioning the hospital among the few medical institutions in Uganda offering this advanced ophthalmic procedure.
This landmark development will be spearheaded by Dr. Susan Kikira, the hospital’s Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist, who brings extensive experience and expertise in complex eye surgeries and community eye health. Under her leadership, the hospital aims to deliver world-class care to patients suffering from squints — a condition characterized by misalignment of the eyes, which can significantly affect vision and quality of life.
Speaking about the new service, Dr. Kikira noted that the initiative is a significant step towards improving access to specialized eye care in Uganda.
“Many people have lived with squints for years due to limited availability of corrective surgical services. Our goal at Herona Community Hospital is to ensure that such patients can now receive affordable, high-quality treatment closer to home,” she said.
The establishment of the squint surgery unit reflects Herona Community Hospital’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in healthcare delivery. It also aligns with the hospital’s broader mission to expand specialized medical services to rural and underserved populations across the country.
Patients seeking evaluation and treatment for squints are encouraged to visit the Herona Community Hospital Eye Department for consultation and registration. Surgeries will be scheduled and conducted by Dr. Kikira and her dedicated ophthalmic team, ensuring the highest standards of patient care and safety.
With this initiative, Herona Community Hospital Kisoga continues to strengthen its role as a leader in accessible and comprehensive healthcare, upholding its core values of quality, compassion, and community service.
