======================
We are delighted to invite Friends of Kisiizi to the annual Friends Day to be held in October and do hope many will be able to attend. There is no need to register, just turn up with a packed lunch and enjoy the nearest thing to Kisiizi other than actually going there!
We will have feedback and updates from the past year and hear of the plans going forward. Friends Day is always a wonderful mix of fellowship, catching up with old friends and making new ones from across the 65 years of Kisiizi with all sorts of different interests varying from the hydro-electricity, rehabiliation department, nutrition programme, orphan support etc etc etc plus the Hope Community Clinic that Kisiizi now supervises in Rwentobo.

STRE@MLINE HEALTH WINS SWISS RE FOUNDATION ENTREPRENEURIAL INNOVATORS AWARDS 2022!
264 applications from 81 countries were submitted for the 3 awards being offered… including the one from Streamline Health & Kisiizi. (Stre@mline is the patient-centred integrated IT system developed in Kisiizi). Samuel Mugisha presented to a jury who chose our project as the leading scheme awarding a grant of 350,000 USD to allow strengthening of the Kisiizi community health insurance scheme and the roll out to 14 other hospitals in Uganda with a goal of adding 150,000 beneficiaries in the next 2 years.
Thanks for all the prayers and votes and support. We came a very close second in the separate People’s Choice Award (over 200,000 votes were received) but as we received so many votes (around 45%) we believe there will be lots of follow up contacts resulting. Well done to all the Stre@mline and Kisiizi teams!
Below is the announcement of the winner with a cheer from Friends of Kisiizi!

WELL DONE SARAH!

Huge thanks to all who supported Sarah and Kisiizi in this amazing achievement, thank you all.=======================================================

KH Annual Report FY 2020-2021 F
==================================
KISIIZI COMMUNITY HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME January 2021
This important research shows that membership of our Scheme leads to a 26% increase in use of mosquito nets and 18% increase in deworming compared to control families in our communities. There is little research published on the effect of voluntary health insurance on preventive health so this paper is really interesting adding yet more benefits to the value of our Scheme. These include the obvious financial protection against catastrophic health expenditure in the event of acute illness, plus our previously published work on a significant reduction in childhood stunting. In addition Kisiizi has analysed data from the Stre@mline IT system it has developed to show a 50% fall in admission rates from our clinics for those who belong to the Scheme. We currently have around 42,000 beneficiaries in 6 districts in over 220 groups in this not-for-profit scheme reaching up to 60km from Kisiizi.
====================
Kisiizi continues to have an amazing impact all over the world. A tourism student at the Pantheon Sorbonne of University of Paris chose Kisiizi Falls as a project due to its links with the United Nations World Tourism Organization ST-EP Project (sustainable tourism, eliminating poverty).

One of the themes of Kisiizi is Care for the Vulnerable… this little girl came to Kisiizi with severe malnutrition causing swelling of her body as seen in the two photos on the left. After a couple of weeks she was transformed…
We have many departments and do a lot of surgical procedures for which patients will travel long distances. The service is 24 hours and the photo shows a team helping a young child who has inhaled a seed or bean and has severe respiratory distress:
In addition to its clinical work, Kisiizi has a number of other activities:
- Kisiizi Hospital School of Nursing – with around 310 trainee nurses and midwives
- Kisiizi Hospital Primary School – with around 350 pupils including boarders
- Kisiizi Hospital Community Health Insurance Scheme – with over 40,000 registered in 215 community groups in an area stretching up to 60 kilometers from the hospital
- Kisiizi Hospital Power Limited – generating hydro-electricity for the hospital and the local community
- Kisiizi Hospital Child Sponsorship Programme – with 270 orphans receiving educational and health support
