Contents

Location

The hospital is located approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi), by road, southwest of Moroto, the nearest large town and the location of the district headquarters. [1] Matany lies approximately 385 kilometres (239 mi), by road, northeast of Kampala, the capital of Uganda and the largest city in that East African country. [2]

Overview

Matany Hospital is a private, non-profit, community hospital owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Moroto and is accredited by the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau. The hospital is administered by Comboni Sisters, a religious congregation. The hospital has a capacity of 226 beds.

Matany Hospital Maintains an attached Nursing Training School, an airstrip (Matany Airstrip).

History

St. Kizito Hospital, Matany was built in the early 1970s with assistance from MISEREOR, a German religious organization, at the invitation of the Comboni Missionaries.
