Kissito Healthcare International

Kissito Healthcare staff members have participated in medical volunteer work around the world since 2004. Through this work we have witnessed the tremendous needs facing millions of people who lack access to even the most basic of health care services. As a 501 (C) (3) charitable organization we have sought ways to share our knowledge and expertise in some small way to help those in need.

This has led to Kissito Healthcare's commitment to construct and operate the Morris Cerullo Kamashi Teaching Hospital and University in Ethiopia. This 60 bed medical and surgical hospital will serve a population in excess of 70,000 people who previously lacked access to the most basic of health care services. Kissito employees have aggressively committed to make the hospital the first Sub-Saharan African hospital to obtain JCI accreditation!

Kissito Healthcare 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 Kissito is recruiting and training Post-graduate students to practice in our US based and International Division. Kissito Healthcare and St. Cabrini are planning to develop and operate the first Post Acute center in the Philippines. In support of these programs the Kissito Healthcare clinical information system is being implementing throughout the Medical Center and the College of Allied Medicine.

The development of a health care delivery system starts with education. To this end Kissito has committed to work with the community of Bugobelo, Uganda in the education of its promising young students in health care professions. Bugobelo students will be sponsored at Lyceum - St. Cabrini and Morris Cerullo Kamashi to undertake studies in various health care professions. Kissito and the community are working together to develop its first hospital which will be staffed by the graduating students as they return to Bugobelo.
