The health facilities near you, what level of care each gives, and whether it is government, mission or private — on a map and by area, after the Kilembe hospital closure.
Loading the latest information…
Where to go for care in Kasese, and what kind of care each place can give. The public health system goes up in steps — a small clinic, a health centre, a hospital — and going to the right level saves a wasted trip when someone is unwell. This lists the district's hospitals, Health Centre IVs and the main Health Centre IIIs — government, mission and private — with what each level treats, on a map and by area.
Uganda’s public health facilities go up in steps. Knowing which step you need saves a wasted journey — a Health Centre II can’t admit you, and a hospital is far for a cough.
Health Centre II (HC II)
The first stop for everyday illness — an outpatient clinic, usually run by a nurse. Treats common problems like malaria, coughs and minor injuries and gives some medicines and first aid, but cannot admit you overnight or handle a birth.
Health Centre III (HC III)
An outpatient clinic plus a maternity ward and a small general ward, led by a clinical officer. Handles normal births, can keep you overnight, and has a basic laboratory. No operating theatre.
Health Centre IV (HC IV)
A mini-hospital for a whole county: a doctor, an operating theatre for emergencies like a caesarean, blood transfusion and a fuller laboratory, with wards to admit patients.
Hospital (Hospital)
The fullest care in the district — several doctors, surgery, X-ray, a fuller laboratory and specialist wards. Where the health centres send the cases they cannot handle.
Who runs a facility changes what you pay. Government facilities are meant to be free or nearly free, though they can run short of medicines. Mission and non-profit facilities — mostly church-run — charge modest fees and are often better stocked. Private clinics charge the most. All three are listed here.
Warm pins are hospitals and Health Centre IVs (the higher levels of care); blue pins are Health Centre IIs and IIIs and clinics. Pick a need above to highlight the facilities that can help.
