Heart Surgery

When the first Mission Doctors opened the hospital at Kisiizi they made God the centre of the work. The existing old flax mill building was split into 3, with a ward on either side of the central chapel.

 

Services are announced, not by the peel of church bells but by the sound of African drums.

 

 

Faith remains central to the work here. Every weekday there is a morning service in the chapel, attended not only by hospital staff and students but also some of those patients who are mobile.

 

 

Sunday services is led by one of the hospital chaplains. As part of the Anglican church of Uganda many parts of the service are familiar.

 

Each morning a short message is shared by a member of staff. Ann is a Church Mission Society Mission Partner who has worked at the hospital for many years. In addition to taking her turn to speak at morning chapel she also leads a weekly bible study for staff.
