Paediatric Surgery
Paediatric surgery: this is a highly-specialized field of surgery that is only offered in the national referral hospital in Kampala in this country. This service is also organized like a surgical camp in collaboration with expatriate surgeons once a year, to treat infants who were unfortunate to be born with abnormalities including anorectal malformation (picture), megacolon, hypospadias, ambiguous genitalia.
The Operating Theatre is where all major surgeries are done under general anaesthesia. With regular support supervision and adherence to strict asepsis and universal precautions in the theatre, the rate of post-operative wound infection is minimal and comparable with those in other developed nations.
