THE Indian community plans to build a multibillion 2,000-bed hospital, expected to be the country’s biggest.
The development comes out of a co-operation between Devi Shetty, the chairman of the India- based Narayana Hrudalaya Hospitals and the Vadera Narendra family together with the Indian Association of Uganda.
Vadera, a member of the association, disclosed that they would put up a multi-specialty health facility to cater for hard- to -treat ailments like cancer, brain and heart surgeries which are usually treated abroad.

At a thanks giving ceremony to welcome the beneficiaries from India, Hope Mwesigye, the agriculture minister said the Government’s initial support towards the establishment of the hospital would be a 50-acre-land which is yet to be identified.
