C-Care Uganda hosted its media appreciation breakfast on Wednesday at Onomo Hotel in Kampala to build and strengthen its relationship with media stakeholders, addressing previous limitations in public perception and fragmented awareness of C-Care’s comprehensive service evolution and growing impact on Uganda’s healthcare landscape.
“The media are essential allies in shaping Uganda’s healthcare story,” said Sheila Aboth, Head of Brand and Client Experience, C-Care Uganda, while reflecting on the importance of strong media relationships in amplifying C-Care’s impact and reinforcing trust in local healthcare.
She added, “Through collaboration and accuracy, we can inspire public confidence and ensure that Ugandans understand the progress happening in their own healthcare system. Together, we are moving forward with a unified voice.”
The breakfast meeting served as a vital platform to communicate C-Care’s journey of expansion, the introduction of new medical specialities, and the adoption of innovative healthcare delivery methods, which continue to position it as a market leader. Over the past year, C-Care has expanded its footprint and enhanced its service delivery model, ensuring that Ugandans across the country have access to consistent, high-quality, and specialised care.
C-Care’s leadership team, including CEO Care Uganda, Azhar Sundhoo, General Manager C-Care IMC, Andrew Mugalu, and General Manager C-Care IHK, Dr. Miriam Musinga Mutero, delivered remarks that underscored the organisation’s strategic growth and its commitment to clinical excellence.
Among the things they highlighted were:
- C-Care continues to set the pace for private healthcare in Uganda with 23 branches across the country and the largest number of medical specialities under one network.
- C-Care is expanding to serve even more communities with a new 50-bed hospital and ICU facility in Gulu, complemented by 24/7 theatres and emergency services in Mbale, Mukono, Nakawa, and all their key branches. According to Dr. Andrew Mugalu, “This growth reflects our promise to deliver quality healthcare wherever it is needed.”
