What we do

Specialised surgery and rehabilitation, in one place

CoRSU brings surgeons, nurses, therapists, orthopaedic technicians and community workers together on one site in Kisubi, so that treatment does not stop when the operation is over.

The chain of care

From first assessment to follow-up at home

A successful operation is one step. Regaining movement, function and confidence takes a team, and time.

That is why CoRSU keeps diagnosis, surgery, therapy and the making of assistive devices on one site, and backs them with a community team. Not every patient needs every step. Your clinician will explain which ones apply to you.

Plan your visit to CoRSU

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    Care starts with a consultation. Our clinicians assess the condition, and X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory tests are available on site.

  2. Step 2: Surgery

    Orthopaedic, plastic and reconstructive, and fistula surgeons operate at the hospital, supported by specialised nursing care.

  3. Step 3: Rehabilitation

    Therapists and the orthopaedic workshop continue the work with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and assistive devices.

  4. Step 4: Community follow-up

    Our community team visits patients at home to see how treatment is progressing and to help reduce barriers to full recovery.

Who we treat and what it costs

Children come first. Everyone is welcome.

CoRSU cares for children and adults with disability from across Uganda and from neighbouring countries, with priority given to children.

What you pay depends on the age of the patient. The fees that adults pay help to fund care for children.

The hospital does not publish a price list. For surgery, a surgeon will usually examine you first and the cost of treatment is confirmed after that. If cost is a worry, please call us before you travel and our customer care team will guide you.

Women treated under the fistula programme pay no fee. The programme also covers their transport from their home district to the hospital and back.
