Prophet Muhammad (PBHU) started medical care facilities in the 5th century for treatment and care of wounded soldiers during the war days. This was a significant development in health sector bringing change with service provision.
The Prophet (SAW) said, ‘The believers are like one body in their mutual love and affection: if one limb is injured, the rest responds with sleeplessness and fever.’ [Bukhari]. This Hadith is a clear message that we should get concerned about peoples’ health.

Cardiac illnesses are becoming the most common cause of mortality in Africa. Unfortunately, most families are poor and cannot afford heart surgeries. Therefore, CIDA-Uganda takes up heart surgery campaigns to save lives of the poor. This is done through a special medical fund to cater for the preparation, travel, accommodation, medical bills and upkeep of the patient and that of the caretaker.
