## OUT SIDE THE UGANDA HEART INSTITUTE (UHI)

The Uganda Heart Institute (UHI) is a specialized medical facility in Kampala, Uganda, focused on the treatment, research, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Established in 1988, UHI operates as part of Mulago National Referral Hospital, offering a range of heart-related services such as diagnostics, surgeries, and management of heart conditions for both children and adults.

The institute has played a critical role in reducing the need for Ugandans to seek heart treatment abroad by offering advanced heart care locally. It performs various procedures, including open-heart surgeries, catheterizations, and minimally invasive techniques. UHI also collaborates with international organizations and receives support from foreign partners to expand its capacities and access to medical technology.

In recent years, the institute has been advocating for the construction of a new standalone facility to increase its capacity and provide state-of-the-art cardiovascular care. The new facility is expected to include modern operating theaters, diagnostic equipment, and increased space for inpatient and outpatient care.
