Healingway Hospital, a newly rebranded multi-specialty medical facility located in Bugolobi, Kampala, has officially opened its doors to the public.
Formerly known as Paragon Hospital, the state-of-the-art facility is now under the ownership of the Fortune Group of Companies, led by Capt. Mike Mukula, who also serves as the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Vice Chairperson for Eastern Uganda.
The hospital is positioning itself as a leader in modern healthcare delivery by combining cutting-edge medical technology with a patient-centered approach.
Healingway Hospital aims to provide a comprehensive range of medical services, including advanced diagnostics, specialized treatments, and proactive health screenings tailored to meet a wide array of patient needs.
Among the key services being offered are advanced radiology imaging — including MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, Doppler studies, and cardiac echocardiography — as well as a fully equipped diagnostic laboratory to support accurate and timely medical assessments.
During the official launch ceremony, Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Anita Among praised the private sector’s growing role in strengthening Uganda’s healthcare system.
“We want to thank you for complementing government efforts in ensuring access to quality health services across the country,” she said. “While the government is committed to providing medical facilities for all Ugandans, resource constraints and competing priorities mean we cannot do it alone. The support from private institutions like Healingway Hospital is therefore crucial.”
Board Chairperson Dr. Fred Omaswa also addressed guests at the launch, highlighting the hospital’s broader vision to promote health tourism in Uganda.
He noted that the facility hopes to attract Ugandans who currently travel abroad — particularly to India and Kenya — in search of advanced medical care.
“Our mission is to offer a world-class healthcare experience right here in Uganda. We believe we can reduce the number of people seeking treatment overseas by providing those same high standards locally,” Dr. Omaswa said.
