Healthcare for every Ugandan Community

MUSAWO and Allied Doctors and Friends of Africa bring quality healthcare directly to homes and communities across Uganda — through home visits, training, and compassionate community care.

WHO WE ARE

Quality Healthcare
for Every Ugandan Community


MUSAWO is an initiative of Allied Doctors and Friends of Africa (ADFA). We believe that where you live should never determine whether you live. Our work puts healthcare within reach of every family, not just those who can afford to travel to a clinic, but the families in Uganda’s most underserved communities who need it most.

We do this through home visits, community outreach, a fully licensed health facility in Lungujja, Kampala, and a training centre that is building the next generation of compassionate health workers.

Seven Years of Growing Closer to Communities
From a single graduate’s vision to a licensed health facility serving thousands, here is how MUSAWO and ADFA grew into the organisation they are today.

2018

Founded
Allied Doctors and Friends of Uganda (ADFA) formally registered. MUSAWO begins as a home-based healthcare initiative in Kampala.

2021

First Clinic
ADFA Medicare Services clinic opens in Lungujja, Kampala — a permanent home for community-centred healthcare in the heart of the city.

2023

Licensing
Upgraded to Health Centre IV, fully licensed and equipped to serve more patients with more services than ever before.

2025

Expansion
Digital health tools launched and a fully functional surgical theatre opens — bringing specialist care into the community for the first time.

Our Clinics

ADFA Medicare Services — Lungujja Health Centre IV

Our flagship facility is more than a clinic. It is the centre of everything we do — a training ground, a place of healing, and a hub for the community health programmes that reach well beyond its walls.

    • Thousands of patients served each year through outpatient and inpatient services
    • Fully licensed under Uganda’s Medical Practitioners Act

Mobile Clinic

Our mobile clinic brings healthcare to people who face the greatest barriers to reaching a facility — those in remote areas, the elderly, and individuals living with disability or limited mobility. When the clinic cannot come to you, we come to the clinic.

    Healthcare is not a privilege. It is a right.

    Every shilling donated to MUSAWO and ADFA helps fund a home visit for a vulnerable family, postpartum care for a new mother, or training for a young person who will go on to serve their community.

    You do not have to be a doctor to change someone’s life.
