WHO WE ARE

Quality Healthcare for Every
Ugandan Community

Learn More

Musawo is a Luganda word that translates to “Health Worker.” The name reflects who we are and what we stand for—a collective of healthcare professionals and partners working together to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Musawo was founded on the belief that quality healthcare should not be limited by distance, mobility, or overcrowded health facilities.

Musawo believes that where you live should never determine whether you live. We work across Uganda to bring quality healthcare to families in underserved communities — through home visits, medical camps, licensed clinics, health worker training, and compassionate community care.

Musawo Foundation carries the community mission. Musawo Group powers it commercially. Both are Musawo.
