What Mildmay Uganda does

Mildmay Uganda is an indigenous, Christian non-governmental organization headquartered in Kampala, Uganda, founded in 1998 to deliver specialized HIV/AIDS care, healthcare professional training, health research, and community outreach. It operates as a group of four integrated entities: Mildmay Hospital (specialized clinical care for HIV), the Mildmay Institute of Health Sciences (accredited nursing, medicine, and laboratory technology programs), the Mildmay Research Centre (health policy and outcomes research), and NGO Operations (community-based health programs and partnerships). The organization serves vulnerable populations including people living with HIV (over 120,000 in central Uganda), orphans and vulnerable children (over 2 million served since inception), adolescent girls and young women (36,000 via the DREAMS initiative), pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and persons with non-communicable diseases, alongside training 40,000+ health workers.

Mildmay Uganda is funded primarily through grants from international development partners, principally PEPFAR, CDC, CBM (Christian Blind Mission), and ADDRA Uganda, supplemented by service revenue from accommodation, training and conference facilities, private healthcare, and consultancy. The organization reports strong clinical outcomes including 97% viral load suppression and 99% patient retention across 142 supported health facilities in 8 districts. It holds NGO registration with Uganda's National NGO Bureau, is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee under Uganda's Companies Act, and operates an ISO-accredited laboratory backing 24 laboratories in central Uganda. Electronic medical records cover 98% of supported facilities, providing data infrastructure for program monitoring.

The organization's business model is grant-funded nonprofit delivery with diversified program verticals including HIV care and treatment, DREAMS for adolescent girls, the Accelerating Epidemic Control project, the TOGETHER Project for gender equality in Northern Uganda, household livelihoods and economic strengthening, health systems strengthening across 16 districts, global health security, and disability programming. It maintains strategic partnerships with Uganda's Ministry of Health, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Education and Sports, and Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, alongside referral partnerships with Mulago Hospital, Mengo Hospital, and CORSU Hospital. Mildmay Uganda is governed by an independent board chaired (as of January 2026) by Mr. Fulukas Boroa Enyanga, with executive leadership under Dr. Yvonne E.M. Karamagi.
