STORY

The Ambrosoli Foundation was established in 1998 by Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli’s family and the Comboni Missionaries, to ensure a future and continuity of service to Kalongo Hospital and the Midwifery Training School Father Giuseppe had founded back in 1957 in Northern Uganda. Transparency, reliability and concreteness have always been the core of each action we take.

MISSION

By supporting the Dr Ambrosoli Memorial Hospital and the St. Mary Midwifery School in Kalongo we want to ensure access to qualified health care services and to improve health and life conditions of every single individual.
In line with Father Comboni’s original vision“Save Africa with Africans” we walk side by side with the local communities and promote medical and managerial training to the local personnel, with the aim of accompanying the Hospital towards self-sustainability and to support the economic and social development of the country.

FATHER GIUSEPPE AMBROSOLI

““God is love and I am his servant for those who suffer”.

On December 17, 2015, Pope Francis named Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli as Venerable of the Catholic Church.
Born on July 25, 1923 in Ronago, a small village in the province of Como, Father Giuseppe left his family and walked away from a brilliant career as a doctor to serve the poor.
