Fees from patients are expected to cover about 53% of the running cost at full operation (UGX 3,365 million a year). The rest, about UGX 3,000 million a year, comes from donors, partners and the patient fund, which pays for free and reduced-rate care.

Budget figures are planning estimates to be confirmed by an architect and quantity surveyor. Planning rate: USD 1 = UGX 3,700.
