Master Cares Bethlehem Community Hospital is a mission-driven healthcare facility providing holistic, high-quality, and affordable medical care to underserved communities in Southern Uganda.
Our story began in 2009 when Dr. Ssentongo Emmanuel Lugwana, a locally born and deeply passionate medical professional, established a small rural clinic named Mirembe in response to the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Lwengo and surrounding districts. The clinic quickly grew into Bethlehem Community Nursing Home, fueled by a desire to reach the most vulnerable with compassionate and accessible healthcare.
In 2014, the nursing home entered into a transformative partnership with Master Cares Ministries USA, an NGO focused on spiritual and economic upliftment. This collaboration led to the birth of the hospital we know today: a modern, 50-bed facility registered as Master Cares Bethlehem Community Hospital.
From humble beginnings to a state-of-the-art institution, we now offer a wide range of services including:
Obstetrics and Gynecology
General Surgery
Pediatrics
A Specialized Diagnostic Laboratory equipped for advanced clinical investigations
Nutrition Care and Counseling
We proudly serve districts such as Lwengo, Rakai, Kyotera, Lyantonde, and parts of Masaka. Under the leadership of our founder, Dr. Ssentongo Emmanuel (Executive Director), and a committed Hospital Board, every department is run by trained specialists who uphold our values of integrity, professionalism, accountability, and transparency.
At our core, we are more than just a hospital; we are a community pillar. We strive not only to treat illness but to restore dignity, promote wellness, and build a healthier, more resilient future for generations to come.
