TESTIMONIES


At my age, getting a second chance at life is a huge privilege after all I went through.


Achia John, Kotido

I need to be the face of Matany in Katakwi, I don’t think everyone has a thorough appreciation of the goodness of this hospital.


Amuron Justine, Katakwi

I have had the roughest childhood but this hospital is the only light that I can look up to and reflect on God’s love.


Loduk Emmanuel, Moroto


What a relief!

I can’t imagine how my dream of being a mother would have turned out if it wasn’t for the great team at Matany Hospital.


Elizabeth, Maternity Ward


Helped me a lot

Not only was I having problems with my vision but my eyes were also itchy, irritated and red. They treated for dry eyes and my eyes feel great!


Katelin Lee


Awesome optometrists

The hours are great, and I didn’t have to wait long, what I also like about your office is that you are up-to-date with state-of the-art equipment.


Anita Sempers


My vision is perfect

They gave me much more than health – they gave me my life back. One that I can still enjoy with my family and my children.

Pre-INTERNSHIP


RECENTLY GRADUATED MEDICAL STUDENTS

Pre-internship is such a great opportunity to find a bridge between the Medical school and a forthcoming internship. The majority of our interns liked the experience and preferred to be posted with us, moreover, some returned to volunteer further after the internship.

There are a few conditions that are to be met by the pre-interns to create a win-win situation;

  1. A Pre-intern will need to find a place to stay during this time; you will need to rent out close to the hospital.
  2. The hospital does not pay volunteers other than the teaching and training/supervision volunteers receive from the doctors (specialists and Medical officers).
  3. As it stands, there is no specific arrangement for meals, other than breakfast served within the hospital, A volunteer will have to get meals out of pocket. The hospital has a proper cafeteria where meals are served over 12 hours a day.

Provided the conditions can be met, send your CV and motivational letter to

INTERN DOCTOR

I witnessed resilience in its purest form and learned that medicine extends far beyond hospital corridors. Every outreach trip strengthened my skills, deepened my compassion, and reminded me that even the smallest intervention can change a life.

My experience at Matany Hospital has been one of the most defining chapters of my medical journey. Matany taught me medicine beyond textbooks ,it taught me resilience, humility, and the true meaning of service.

I arrived in early June, fresh out of med school, carrying a backpack stuffed with textbooks and nerves. The hospital gates opened onto that familiar red‑brick corridor, the scent of antiseptic blending with the crisp Matany air. Dr. Ssembusi John, the Head of Interns, welcomed us with a firm handshake and a knowing smile that said.
