Est. 2022 – healing generations

Rooted in compassion,
reaching for excellence

Michoes Medical Centre began with a simple idea: quality healthcare should feel like home. Today we are a trusted referral center in Eastern Uganda, blending expertise with a deep sense of humanity.Michoes Medical Centre - 50 bed facility

Our story

Founded with a vision to bring quality healthcare to Eastern Uganda, Michoes Medical Centre began as a small facility. Today, we operate a 50-bed hospital offering comprehensive medical and surgical care, with particular strength in orthopaedics, maternal health, and emergency services.

Our growth reflects deep roots in the community and a commitment to accessible, compassionate care. We remain independent and community-owned, guided by a board that includes local leaders and health professionals from Kanyum Kumi and the wider region.

Values in action

  • Dignity – every patient treated as family
  • Excellence – continuous training & modern protocols
  • Access – sliding scale fees & outreach
  • Stewardship – of resources, environment & trust

Guided by experience: Meet a few of the people who shape Michoes.
