Kagando Mission Hospital
The 200 bed hospital includes pediatric, male and female medical and surgical wards and maternity, leprosy and tuberculosis units.
After hours, outpatient clinics and waiting areas serve as classrooms for a variety of programs designed to  improve health, nutrition, and hygiene in the area.
The hospital compound is 35 acres and includes the hospital, a nursing and midwifery school, a chapel, a nursery and primary school for the children of the staff and the
adjacent neighborhood, staff housing, and the beginnings of a demonstration farm.
The purpose of the farm is to provide members of the community with hands-on training in agriculture and animal husbandry. If adequately funded, the
farm will not only provide food for the schools and the manlutrition ward, but provide cash crops for community consumption and become self-sustaining.
The compound has it’s own clean water supply and hydroelectric power.
