Webdesk: The Aga Khan University (AKU), the first private university in Pakistan, is establishing a new campus in Kampala, Uganda.
Her Excellency Janet Museveni, the First Lady of Uganda, and Princess Zahra Aga Khan were present at the groundbreaking ceremony.
There will be a seven-story University Centre and a nine-story student housing building on the 60-acre Nakawa campus. Nearly a dozen medical subspecialties, such as oncology and family medicine, will be available at the hospital.
This is a major investment for AKU in the region of East Africa. The university’s existing School of Nursing and Midwifery, as well as its internal medicine and surgery residency programmes, will benefit from this expansion.
Before the hospital finished built, a four-story ambulatory care building will offer outpatient care in a variety of specialties.
