Iganga General Hospital is a 100-bed, government-owned hospital. It serves Iganga District and parts of the districts of Luuka, Mayuge, Bugiri, Namutumba and Kaliro.[4] It was built in 1968.[3] Over the years, the underfunded, understaffed hospital's infrastructure has deteriorated and equipment has aged and become antiquated. The overworked staff are underpaid and of low morale.[3]
In 2013 the Uganda Ministry of Health, using a loan of $195 million from the World Bank, began renovating a number of hospitals including this hospital.[5] The renovation work was complete by November 2015.[6]
