The Iran-Uganda Health Centre located near Police Headquarters in Naguru, Kampala is set to be opened, The Tower Post reports.

The hospital was an offer from the Iranian Red Crescent (Red Cross) in 2007 and the foundation stone was laid in 2010.

The Uganda Police gave land for the construction of the clinic and cleared the construction material sent from Iran while the Iranian government met the cost of construction.

Modern equipment and drugs were procured and sent to Uganda by the Association of Muslim Physicians without Borders and Uganda Police cleared them from customs.

According to Police Chief, Gen. Kale Kayihura, “the hospital is ready and will soon be open to both police and the general public as a private hospital that will provide quality and affordable medical services.”

“This is part of our commitment to improve the welfare of the men and women in uniform and their families,” says Kayihura.

This website understands that the hospital will be opened soon.
