The Vision of UTH is “to be the Centre of Excellency for health care in the country and the region by providing innovative treatment interventions through ongoing research”. Our mission statement is “To provide affordable quality health care; function as a referral centre; train health care providers; conduct research to find solutions to existing health problems and for the development of science"
In conformity with its mission statement the hospital directs its efforts towards research, improving general medical services and to function as a tertiary health care institution. While recognizing that Tertiary care services are highly specialized and expensive to provide, the challenge for the institution has been to reduce the expense of treatment abroad by offering such services locally.
Over a period of time, the institution has built capacity in various areas of specialisation such as Cardiology; Cardiac Surgery, ART, PMTCT, Radiology, Opthamology, ENT, Urology, Orthopaedics and Pulmonary medicine.
