Our Purpose

Galilee Health Institute (GHI) is the training and equipping arm of RUN Foundation Uganda, committed to developing a new generation of health workers who serve with skill, compassion, and purpose. Guided by our motto "Equip to Transform," we prepare learners to become catalysts of change within Uganda's healthcare system—especially in remote and underserved communities.

Uganda continues to face gaps in the affordability and accessibility of essential healthcare. GHI was founded to respond to this need by equipping dedicated health workers who can extend quality services to communities that need them most. Through practical training and a strong service mindset, we empower students to transform not only their own lives, but the health outcomes of entire communities.

Who We Are

Rooted in RUN Foundation Uganda's core values—integrity, compassion, accountability, and excellence—Galilee Health Institute is more than a learning institution. We are a hub for nurturing health professionals who understand grassroots realities and are prepared to serve with empathy, leadership, and professionalism.

What We Do

We deliver relevant, community-focused health training programs and equip students with practical skills in dentristry, medical lab technology, nursing, etc. We instill a strong service mindset that prioritizes people over profit, and prepare graduates to thrive both in clinical settings and in challenging field environments.

Our Impact

Graduates of Galilee Health Institute bring affordable and reliable care closer to rural populations, strengthen community-based health systems, reduce preventable illnesses through education and early intervention, and support RUN Foundation's broader mission of uplifting underserved communities.
