Kisiizi Hospital Project

TheKisiiziHospitalis a 200 bed hospital, run by theChurchofUganda. TheKisiiziHospitalrelies on Government, patients and private donations for its funding. Situated in a remote area inSW Uganda, Kisiizi is an hour's drive away from the nearest tarmac road.

The hospital has an outpatient department, surgical ward and operating theatre suite, a maternity department, a children's ward, and medical, isolation and mental health wards. We believe that the Trust and its staff would find an institutional link with Kisiizi beneficial and rewarding.

Sponsor a mattress

Currently most of the mattresses atKisiiziHospitalare damaged or badly stained and are not of the standard you would expect to find in a hospital environment.  We are looking to replace all of the mattresses (250) and just £25 will buy a brand new mattress and cover. Every mattress purchased will make a real difference to the level of comfort experienced by the many patients who will use them during their stay. The new mattresses are also vital in helping to improve levels of infection control which is one of the key areas that the Countess Team are working closely with Kisiizi staff to achieve.

We have currently purchased 150 mattresses - would you consider sponsoring one to help us reach our target?

You can send a cheque made payable to COCH Charitable Funds (Kisiizi) to:

Fundraising Office, Countess of Chester Hospital, Liverpool Road,Chester, CH2 1UL

Alternatively you can bring cash donations to our office (in the main Reception of the hospital) or you can pay over the phone by credit or debit card. Please call Angie Lopez on 01244 366240 for further information.
