HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Busagula Health was started in 2013. This was after Busagula sub parish was transformed into a parish and the priests who were posted there found it very hard to receive medical services because of the bad roads to Masaka and Villa Maria hospitals yet there was no health centers in the area that could provide quality services. It is then that the thought of constructing a health facility came up to provide health for the priests’ community and the surrounding community. With a joint effort from the parishioners and the community of Adelsdorf and Hannersberg in Germany funds were solicited and a foundation stone laid.
