Kampala. Ugandans seeking medical attention from the new Mulago specialised Women and Neonatal hospital will part with Shs50,000 per visit in consultation fee and Shs13m for specialised treatment, the Health minister has said.

Dr Ruth Aceng in her statement to Parliament yesterday said the charges were arrived at after examining the costs of similar services within the country and where possible, a comparison with similar services abroad.
Dr Aceng said women seeking in-vitro fertilisation will pay Shs13m when the facility roles out its programme next month. 
In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilised by sperm in a test tube outside the body.

Classifications
"Services will be classified as standard, VIP and VVIP; clinical services offered to all patients at all levels irrespective of pay," Dr Aceng said.
The difference, she said, will be in accommodation, patient welfare and other non-clinical support services. 
She said the hospital requires a total of Shs41 billion to operationalise it.

The minister, however, emphasised that the hospital will offer free services from September 17 to October 9 as an independence gift to Ugandans. She said access will be limited to referral cases in all its operations.

"Patients accessing the services should be referred patients from our referral facilities except for those that are exclusively offered at Mulago Specialised women and neonatal hospital such as IVF, laparoscopic surgery," Dr Aceng added. The facility is expected to reduce maternal mortalities which the ministry confessed remains high at 336/100,000 compared to the global rate of 216/100,000 live births.
Dr Aceng said the facility will decongest Mulago National Specialised hospital, enable women with complicated reproductive health problems to be treated and reduce referrals abroad.

The hospital, whose construction commenced in June 2015, has been completed at a cost of Shs95 billion.
It will offer specialised services such as reproductive medicine, advanced neonatal medical and surgical service, among others.
