Herona Community Hospital Kisoga is proud to announce its contribution to strengthening Uganda’s healthcare system through the facilitation of a team of medical specialists from the United Kingdom to St Francis Medical Services, Mbikko, for an important capacity-building mission.
Through the leadership and coordination of its Director, Herona Community Hospital facilitated the team of specialists from James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Sulis Hospital, Bath, Foxcote Avenue, United Kingdom, to support professional knowledge exchange, skills development and the strengthening of local surgical services.
A multidisciplinary team dedicated to strengthening local capacity
The visiting team brings together a wealth of specialist knowledge and experience, including:
- A Consultant Transplant Surgeon

The participation of these professionals provides an important opportunity for collaboration with local healthcare workers, sharing clinical expertise, strengthening theatre practices and supporting the continued development of surgical services.
