Nsambya Hospital Kampala Uganda has received advanced neonatal care equipment from the African Neonatal Network (ANN), further strengthening its capacity to provide specialized care for newborns and premature babies.
The donation includes SIPAP machines, T-piece resuscitators, and supraglottic airway masks, critical equipment used in the management of newborns requiring respiratory support and emergency resuscitation during their first moments of life.
The equipment is expected to enhance the hospital’s ability to provide timely and life-saving interventions, particularly for premature babies and newborns experiencing breathing difficulties.

“Nsambya Hospital remains a centre of excellence for neonatal and paediatric care. Our neonatal unit manages and saves over 150 babies every month, many of whom require highly specialized care. This equipment will strengthen our ability to respond effectively and improve outcomes for the babies entrusted to us,” Dr. Nakibuuka said.
