[1] Itojo Hospital is located in Itojo Trading Centre, along the Mbarara–Ntungamo–Kabale–Katuna Road, approximately 51 kilometres (32 mi), southwest of Mbarara, the largest city in the sub-region.

It serves Ntungamo District and some parts of neighboring Northern Tanzania and Northeastern Rwanda.

It has a bed capacity of 120, although sometimes many more patients are admitted, with many sleeping on the floor.

In 2006, the then area Member of Parliament, who is also the First Lady of Uganda, Janet Museveni, started to solicit funding from both internal and external sources, to rehabilitate the hospital.

Egypt also pledged to send three specialists; a surgeon, an obstetrician/gynecologist and a pediatrician, to work at the hospital as part of the assistance package.
