Kissito International

Ethiopia -  The Philippines -  Uganda

Since 2004 our staff members have actively participated in Kissito International’s medical volunteer work around the world. This work has sensitized us to the needs of millions who lack or are denied access to even the most basic of healthcare services. As a 501 (C) (3) charitable organization we seek ways to share our knowledge and expertise in some small way to help those in need.

As part of our commitment, we will construct and operate the Morris Cerullo Kamashi Teaching Hospital and University in Ethiopia. This 60-bed medical and surgical hospital will serve more than 70,000 people who currently lack healthcare services. Our employees are aggressively committed to making this the first Sub-Saharan African hospital to obtain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation!

We also maintains a close working affiliation with St. Cabrini Medical Center and the Lyceum – St. Cabrini College of Allied Medicine in the Batangas region of the Philippines. Through this formal affiliation, we recruit and train post- graduate students for practice in our US-based and International divisions. Together, Kissito Healthcare and St. Cabrini plan to develop and operate the first post acute care center in the Philippines. The Kissito Healthcare clinical information system is being implemented throughout the Medical Center and the College of Allied Medicine in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

The development of a healthcare delivery system starts with education. To this end, we are dedicated to working with the community of Bugobelo, Uganda to educate its promising young students in healthcare professions. Bugobelo students will be sponsored at Lyceum  St. Cabrini and Morris Cerullo Kamashi to undertake studies in various healthcare professions. We are working with the local community together to develop its first hospital which will be staffed by the students upon their return to Bugobelo.
