Bududa General Hospital, also Bududa Hospital, is a hospital in the Eastern Region of Uganda.[1]

Location

[edit]

The hospital is located in the town of Bududa, in Bududa District, in Bugisu sub-region, in the Eastern Region of Uganda, about 38 kilometres (24 mi) southeast of Mbale Regional Referral Hospital.[2] The coordinates of Bududa Hospital are:01°00'34.0"N; 34°19'58.0"E (Latitude:1°00'34.0"N; Longitude:34°19'58.0"E).[3]

Overview

[edit]

Bududa Hospital, with bed capacity of 100, was built in the 1960s by the government of Prime Minister Milton Obote (1962 - 1971). The hospital has not received any renovations since it was constructed. Like many of Uganda's public hospitals, Bududa General Hospital is understaffed, over-crowded, underfunded and operated with antiquated or absent equipment.[1][4][5]
