Lacor (northern Uganda) is a large hospital that treats about 242 thousand patients every year and has 600 Ugandan employees, and is partly subsidized by the Corti Foundation. During the long years of collaboration between the Corti Foundation and the Ceresio Foundation a relationship of trust and mutual esteem has been established which has allowed, and still allows, the two entities to work in harmony for the common objectives.


Kalongo is a hospital founded in 1956 by the Comboni surgeon and missionary Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli and currently supported by the Ambrosoli Foundation. Today the hospital, located in a remote area of ​​northern Uganda, is home to 271 beds and employs 240 people.
