According to a 2009 published report, Kayunga Hospital had a dilapidated and crumbling infrastructure, aging equipment and machinery, under-staffing, poor staff remuneration, overwhelming patient numbers, and under-funding. [5]
In 2016, the Government of Uganda secured loans from Middle Eastern lenders totaling USh70 billion (approx. US$19 million), to renovate the dilapidated hospital and equipment, as well as construct new staff housing. [1] The renovations are funded by loans from the (a) Saudi Fund for Development, (b) Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and (c) OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID). [6]
After delays, blamed on "bureaucracy within the Ministry of Health", [7] the actual work started in early 2018. [8] [9]
The scope of the renovations include (1) a new Emergency Department (Casualty) (2) new operating rooms (theatres) (3) new out-patient department (4) new administration office block (5) expansion of the in-patient wards (6) new staff housing (7) rehabilitation of the water supply system (8) rehabilitation of the sewerage collection and disposal system. [7] [8]
The expansion and renovations are expected to conclude in 2020, with a total bed capacity of 300, and the conversion of Kayunga Hospital, to Kayunga Regional Referral Hospital. The main contractor is Arab Contractors Uganda Limited. [10]
After renovations and expansion, then now 200-bed facility was upgraded to a Regional Referral Hospital, responsible for the districts of Buikwe, Jinja, Kayunga, Kamuli, Luweero, Mukono and Nakasongola. [11]
