Bwindi Community Hospital
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Bwindi_Community_Hospital an entity of type: Thing
Bwindi Community Hospital was founded in 2003 by Scott and Carol Kellermann. It began as an outreach clinic under a tree, and has grown into a 112-bed hospital providing health care and health education services to a population of over 100,000 people in Uganda. The hospital began with a special mission to help the Batwa pygmies who were displaced from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest after it was made a National Park in 1991. Since leaving the forest many Batwa have lived in extreme poverty and are affected by the health issues that poverty brings.

Since leaving the forest many Batwa have lived in extreme poverty and are affected by the health issues that poverty brings. While the hospital was started particularly to provide health care to the Twa, it quickly found itself treating all people living in the area. The hospital serves the population in 3 sub-counties of Kayonza, Mpungu and Kanyantorogo in Kanungu District. There are few other decent health services in this extremely remote area and people sometimes walk for more than a day to get to the hospital. Its status was upgraded from health centre to hospital in 2008 after a new operating theater was built.
