Clinic Care
Hospice Jinja - Reaching those in the community of Jinja
Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
-Henry ChurchILL
Our Mission
The Sovereign Wings of Hope mission is to offer affordable humanitarian and spiritual hospice/palliative care services to those in need of them.
With over 40 million people, Uganda is an East African country with a population growth of 3.2% per year - projected to eclipse 80 million by 2044. Therefore, there are an increasing number of people in the rural areas that lack access to adequate health care. Almost 60% of Ugandans never see a health worker in their lifetime and less than 1% of HIV/AIDS patients can access anti-retroviral therapy. Less than 5% of cancer patients can access chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and only 1% of individuals have access to end of life care.
SWOH is committed to ensuring that adequate health care services are provided, especially in our clinic community
We are a home-based organization who renders spiritual and humanitarian services through programs that provide, educate, enhance and promote palliative care in Uganda.
