Ngonzi Nsa (Only Love) Initiative - Uganda

African Mission Healthcare has worked in Uganda since its founding, primarily in partnership with the Banyatereza Sisters, an indigenous order of committed nuns who run health and educational institutions. African Mission Healthcare has added other partners from the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau health system. In 2021, Dr. Sister Priscilla Busingye, Uganda’s leading urogynecologist, became the first African and the first woman to receive the African Mission Healthcare Gerson L’Chaim Prize for Outstanding Christian Medical Missionary Service. Dr. Busingye, known as “the nun who helps women,” cast a vision for a maternal health center of excellence. This dream has become the Ngonzi Nsa (Only Love) Initiative, a network of four hospitals in southwestern Uganda dedicated to reducing maternal mortality.
