Bulamu Healthcare Is A Lifeline To People In Need

From 2016 to Feb. 2020, Bulamu’s medical camps treated 154,690 patients. From June 2020 through Dec. 2022, Bulamu’s Clinical Support Teams program has treated 160,503 patients.

Since 2016, Bulamu’s surgery programs have now treated more than 11,500 patients free of charge since 2016 (all programs combined).

Bulamu’s surgery program is our main direct treatment program. Our surgery program is conducted in partnership with the Association of Surgeons of Uganda and partner districts that host week-long Surgery Intensive programs at their local community hospitals.

Bulamu’s Angel Program refers patients to Uganda’s leading specialty hospitals, primarily for surgical care. With our coordination and sponsorship, the Angel Program helped 95 children receive outstanding referral care for illnesses including hydrocephalus, ostheomyelitis, and cleft lip in 2022 alone.

Bulamu’s Health Center Excellence program is our health systems program that works through 353 partner public health centers that are operated by 12 partner districts in Uganda. HCE supports our partner facilities through 3 main programs: Maternal and Child Health, Primary Care, and Management Reports.

Bulamu’s partner health facilities treated 4.4 million patient visits in 2022 alone. We estimate that between 2016 and 2022, Bulamu’s work has supported more than 4 million total patient visits, and now continues to support approximately 4 million patient visits per year.

Everything that Bulamu does takes place thanks to dedicated, outstanding Ugandan health workers, leaders, and Bulamu’s full-time team of Ugandan health managers and public health leaders. Bulamu facilitates, while Ugandan colleagues and partners implement all of the work that we do, from treating a surgery patient to ensuring the supplies needed for a C-section are in stock at our partner Health Center IVs.

Combined with our culture of continuous improvement and a focus on providing proven standards of care to rural and underserved patients, Bulamu’s partnerships are the secret to making our high-impact, low-cost transformative work possible.

We recognize and thank Rotary Clubs and Districts in Uganda and the U.S., the Association of Surgeons of Uganda, the Ministry of Health of Uganda, and our partner Local District Governments and the public health facilities they oversee for their partnership and leadership for the work we do together. For Angel Patient referrals, we thank CoRSU Hospital, CURE Hospital Mbale, and EMERGENCY Pediatric Surgical Hospital for their partnership, support, and the care they provide.
