Divine Mercy General Hospital was established in 2008 in response to the critical shortage of healthcare facilities in Uganda. Recognizing this urgent need, Father Bash took the initiative to found the hospital, with the generous support of a benefactor associated with the American Friends of the Father Bash Foundation, Inc. Since its inception, the hospital has played a vital role in addressing the growing healthcare challenges in Mbarara and its surrounding communities.
At present Divine Mercy Hospital offers a range of medical services, including general consultation, maternal and newborn care, lab services, surgery and inpatient services. Currently over 25 doctors and professionals attend to those seeking medical care.
Ongoing Needs at Divine Mercy Hospital Despite its progress, Divine Mercy Hospital still requires vital support:
Facility Expansion – To meet growing demand, the hospital needs infrastructure upgrades.
Essential Supplies – Continued population growth drives the ongoing need for medical supplies, equipment, and improved patient services.
Pharmacy – The pharmacy remains understocked and needs essential medicines and supplies.
Dental Care – Establishing a fully equipped dental section is a pressing priority.
