You're on your own, friend. Any number of Western embassies in Kampala can, of course, advise where to get competent medical attention in Kampala, but Kampala isn't a dangerous place, nor for that matter are the actual towns of Gulu and Moroto, where there are also adequate (and, of course, inadequate) medical facilities. Yet, when a country has an average of one doctor for every 22,291 people, your chances of getting one are slim to none. AIDS is a big killer here, along with the usual Central African lineup of malaria, intestinal bugs, respiratory ailments and other tropical killers. Malaria is present throughout the country and chloroquine-resistant. Louse-borne typhus is especially prevalent where groups of people congregate together.
