About HomeBridge+
Born at Lubaga Hospital, extending holistic healthcare beyond hospital walls into homes and communities
Born at Lubaga Hospital, extending care beyond walls
HomeBridge+ was founded in 2024 as an autonomous but Lubaga Hospital-born project, designed to extend the hospital's century-old philosophy of "care for life" beyond the facility walls into homes and communities.
Lubaga Hospital has, for over a century, been at the heart of healthcare delivery in Uganda, serving as one of the country's leading faith-based referral hospitals. Yet, despite these efforts, gaps remained in the continuity of care—especially after patients were discharged, among postnatal mothers, in preventive wellness, and among patients living with chronic non-communicable diseases.
HomeBridge+ emerged to bridge these gaps, functioning independently while staying deeply aligned with Lubaga Hospital's mission and vision—bridging the gap between hospital-based care and home-based recovery.
"HomeBridge+ is more than a project—it is a vision of care without boundaries. Born within Lubaga Hospital but designed as an autonomous initiative, it amplifies the hospital's mission of compassion and health for all."
Our Mission & Vision
Guided by compassion and excellence in community healthcare
Our Mission
To extend holistic healthcare into homes and communities, ensuring continuity of care, improved patient recovery, strengthened NCD management, enhanced maternal and newborn outcomes, and increased health awareness for healthier communities.
Our Vision
A world where quality healthcare knows no boundaries — where every patient, regardless of location, receives compassionate, continuous, and comprehensive care from hospital to home.
Why HomeBridge+ Exists
Addressing critical gaps in Uganda's healthcare continuum
The NCD Crisis
33% of all deaths in Uganda are caused by NCDs. Every Ugandan has a 22% probability of dying prematurely from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or chronic respiratory disease.
Maternal Health Gap
Only 33.3% of mothers receive a postnatal check within the WHO-recommended 48-72 hours after childbirth, leaving most mothers and newborns without critical follow-up care.
Neonatal Mortality
Neonatal mortality stands at 22 deaths per 1,000 live births—nearly double the SDG target of 12. Most deaths occur within the first week after birth.
Readmission Crisis
12% of adult medical patients are readmitted within 30 days. Heart failure patients face 17-27% readmission rates within a month of discharge.
Critical Delays
28% of perinatal deaths are linked to delays in seeking care, and 23% to delays in reaching health facilities—gaps HomeBridge+ bridges through home visits.
Institutional Challenges
Lubaga Hospital faces transport logistics, nurse shortages, and the absence of a coordinated digital system to track home-care—challenges HomeBridge+ solves.
