STATEMENT FROM THE MOST REV. DR. STEPHEN KAZIIMBA, ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA, ON THE DEATH OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II OF ENGLAND
On behalf of the Church of Uganda, we stand with our brothers and sisters in the UK in mourning the passing of your beloved Queen and the Head of our Commonwealth. We take hope in the words of the Bible applied to her life: She fought the good fight. She finished the race. She kept the faith. Now there is in store for her another crown – the crown of righteousness. (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Kaziimba
ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA.

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!

Streamline Health and Kisiizi applied for the 2022 Entrepreneurs for Resilience Award from Swiss Re foundation. Over 260 applicants were received for just 3 grants but the good news is that we are 
in the top 3 and so will now present in Zurich for a jury to decide the ranking and value of the award. The project will involve strengthening the Kisiizi community health insurance scheme and replicating it at 14 other hospitals in Uganda with a target that each location will add 10,000 beneficiaries in the next two years. Stre@mline is a patient-centred integrated IT programme that includes insurance modules and was developed in Kisiizi.
There is also a People’s Award for which YOU CAN VOTE! So we hope you will look at the three videos from the top 3 applicants on the following website. Hopefully you will agree with us that the Streamline Health option offers the greatest impact to rural poor populations and so vote for our project:

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.

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
