The location of Mukono Municipal Council and absence of a modern hospital in the council was the major precipitating factor that moved the founders to establish Vine Medi Care Hospital. With modern equipment and qualified and experienced staff, we are well placed to provide quality health services.

The location of Mukono Municipal Council and absence of a modern Hospital in the council is the major precipitating factor that moved the Founders to establish Vine Medi Care Hospital. With no modern Hospital Mukono MC located 20 km away from Kampala and in particular Mulago National Referral Hospital and about 25km away from Kawolo Government Hospital. Considering the distance, there was a great need to save the communities from moving long distances to access quality medical services.
