Our Founders
The Heart of Sali International
Dr. & Mrs. Edward G. Tamale-Sali
"When I founded this hospital, my vision was simple: to give every woman in Africa access to the same quality of reproductive healthcare available anywhere in the world. For over 45 years, I have dedicated my life to making families complete. Together with my wife, we built a network of hospitals in Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia, fulfilling that promise—one family at a time."
