Milne Medical Clinic
The Milne Clinic opened in 2004 and provides a range of services to Ugandans in the greater Kampala area. It is located in Kigobe, Lugala Village. The Clinic provides free support for the local community during AE’s city-wide mission outreach initiatives. Services include infant immunisations, maternity delivery, post-natal counselling, HIV testing and counselling, family planning, dental care and outreach camps.
