Uganda is set to host a 2-day free Health Camp focusing on Pediatric Cardiology, Cancer and Orthopedics.  

Organized by MagnusMedi, a global medical value travel facilitator, in association with Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani Hospital, and le Mémorial Hospital in Uganda, the camp, according to Judith Komuhangi, the MagnusMedia Uganda, Country Manager, brings together medical specialists from India and Uganda, who will carry out Free Consultations on all types of cancer, heart problems for children as well as bone, muscles and spine related conditions and complaints.  

Komuhangi says the Indian delegation of Doctors will be led by Dr. Suresh Rao, a renowned cardiologist and Director, Children's Heart Centre and Consultant, Pediatric & Congenital Heart Surgeon at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute- Mumbai.  

Dr. Rao who will be in Kampala for one day only, is a former President, Indian Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons (2015-16) as well as a former President, Pediatric Cardiac Society of India (2009-11).  

Other doctors are Dr. Imran Nisar Shaikh a Consultant in Medical Oncology and Dr Abhijit Pawar an Orthopedics, & Advanced Spine Surgeon.   

“Our choice of doctors was informed by the level of need in the country, because according to the World Health Organization - Non communicable Diseases (NCD) Country Profiles, 2018; 33% of all deaths in Uganda are caused by Non Communicable Diseases while 13% is due to accident related injuries. Of the NCD related deaths 10% is due to cardio-vascular diseases and 9% is due to cancers,” said Ms Komuhangi.  

According to Mr. Mihir Vora, Founder & CEO of MagnusMedi, the medical camp is targeted at “serving patients who have been diagnosed and are undergoing treatment for any of the above cases and require a second expert opinion and or require information about affordable advanced treatment options in India.”  

“Our doctors will also examine and offer free consultation to those that have been treatment before but are in need of expert reviews. All participants are requested to carry their previous personal medical files for reference.” he said.  

The camp will take place from 15th to 16th November 2018 between 8:30am- 5:30pm at the Le Memorial Hospital, off the Munyonyo-Kajjansi portion of the Entebbe Expressway. 
The first camp, organised last year provided free consultation to over 225 patients- with different types of cancers and gynaecological conditions such as fibroids, sexual dysfunctions, STDs, infertility and fistula. 

Early testing/diagnosis increases chances of healing 

All consultations will be made only by appointment and on a first come first serve basis.
