Those hospitals have been established over the last 20 years, beginning with International Hospital Kampala in 1996, to address the gap in specialized tertiary healthcare delivery in the country and to serve that segment of Uganda's population that has been seeking the missing services from outside Uganda.

[9] In 2010, the hospital borrowed US$3 millions worth of Ugandan shillings from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an arm of the World Bank, to "increase access to quality health care, create jobs for medical professionals, and introduce new standards of clinical and patient care in the country".

[10] In April 2015, the hospital began a public fundraising drive to enable more women access free fistula repair surgeries.
