Aga Khan University, Kampala Campus

Inauguration of the Academic Facilities and Commencement of Construction of the University Hospital​

The Aga Khan University has officially launched its new 60-acre campus in Kampala. Located in the Nakawa area, the campus features a state-of-the-art University Centre, student housing, and the Nakawa Specialty Centre. Construction of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala has also begun.

This landmark investment is one of AKU's largest in East Africa, reflecting our belief that Ugandans deserve access to international-quality higher education and health care. We will expand our academic programmes and train medical specialists, helping to develop local potential.

The project is made possible by the unwavering support of the Government of Uganda, Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and KfW Development Bank, as well as AKU's generous local and international donors. This project is a shared legacy of our Founding Chancellor that will shape the future of higher education and healthcare for generations to come.​​
