Overview
The hospital is a private upscale tertiary care hospital; one of the five most upscale private healthcare facilities in Kampala, Uganda's capital. Those hospitals were created during the last 20 years, beginning with International Hospital Kampala in 1996. They aim to bridge 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Govt-to-revamp-Busoga-hospitals-MP-Wafula-s-wife-laid-to-rest/-/688334/1449466/-/o15cft/-/index.html|access-date=24 April 2015 |date=10 July 2012|title=Government To Revamp Busoga Hospitals As MP Wafula's Wife Is Laid To Rest|newspaper=Daily Monitor |location=Kampala| first=Emmanuel| last=Mulondo}} Case Hospital owns and Operates Case MedCare Insurance Limited, a wholly owned Health Maintenance Organization.{{cite web| url=http://casemedcare.org/casemedcare/ |title=About CaseMedcare| access-date=16 May 2016 |publisher=Case Medical Centre| location=Kampala| date=16 May 2016}}
History
In 1995, a group of specialist physicians and surgeons began to attend to patients in an outpatient clinic out of rented premises on Bombo Road in downtown Kampala. Over time, the caseload grew and the services offered increased. During the early 2000s, land was acquired at the present location, and a brand new eight-story hospital building was constructed. The outpatient department (Case Clinic), is still operational and housed in the hospital tower.{{cite web|access-date=16 May 2016|date= 2013| url=https://about.me/casemedcare2013|title= About Case Medical Centre| publisher=Case Medical Centre |location=Kampala}}
