Kitagata General Hospital, also Kitagata Hospital, is a hospital in the Western Region of Uganda.
The hospital is located in the central business district of the town of Kitagata, in Sheema District, in the Ankole sub-region, in Western Uganda, about 62km (39miles) southwest of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. This is about 111km (69miles) north of Kabale Regional Referral Hospital. The coordinates of Kitagata General Hospital are: 0°40'21.0"S, 30°09'04.0"E (Latitude:-0.672503; Longitude:30.151111).
Kitagata Hospital was established in 1969 by the first government of Prime Minister Milton Obote. It has a bed capacity of 100. As with many government hospitals built at the same time, the hospital infrastructure is in a dilapidated state, with antiquated equipment.[1] [2]
In 2013, the government of Uganda acquired funds to renovate certain hospitals, including Kitagata General Hospital, using funds borrowed from the World Bank.[3] [4]
