The hospital is located in the neighbourhood called Nakawa, near the junction of Kampala-Jinja Highway and New Port Bell Road,[4] in Nakawa Division, one of the five administrative units of the Kampala Capital City Authority. This is approximately 4.5 kilometres (3 mi), by road, east of the city's central business district.[5] The approximate coordinates of Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala are: 0°19'30.0"N, 32°36'50.0"E (Laitude:0.325000; Longitude:32.613889).[6] In May 2023, it was disclosed that the university hospital campus measures 60 acres (24 ha).[7]

When completed, this hospital will be the third tertiary referral and teaching hospital affiliated with the Aga Khan Development Network. The other two similar hospitals are located in Karachi, Pakistan and in Nairobi, Kenya.[4] It will function as the teaching hospital of Aga Khan University, Kampala, one of four campuses in East Africa, with others in Nairobi, Arusha and Dar es Salaam.[3]
Aga Khan University, Kampala
Aga Khan University, Kampala which currently trains nurses and midwives is expected to start training undergraduate and postgraduate doctors and surgeons at this hospital, when completed.[8][9]
Construction
The foundation stone for the hospital was laid by the President of Uganda and His Highness the Aga Khan on Thursday, 17 December 2015.[10]
The construction of the teaching hospital complex was expected to start in 2020,[11] with completion originally planned in 2022.[12]
Construction of the university campus, student hostels and an outpatient center began in April 2023, marked by a ceremony presided over by Princess Zahra Aga Khan and Janet Museveni the First Lady of Uganda and the country's mister of education.[13] Completion of the student facilities is expected in 2025 with hospital completion due in 2026.[14]
In April 2024, the hospital opened its outpatient specialty centre to patients in eight specialty areas, including pediatrics, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, nephrology, diagnostic radiology, gastroenterology and oncology.[15]
