C-Care Uganda is the country’s largest private healthcare network. It grew out of International Medical Group, founded by Dr Ian Clarke, which built International Hospital Kampala (IHK) in Namuwongo and the International Medical Centre (IMC) clinic chain. In 2014 CIEL Healthcare, part of Mauritius’s diversified CIEL Group, acquired a majority stake, and in 2022 the Ugandan businesses were rebranded as C-Care IHK, C-Care IMC, C-Lab and C-Pharma.

The Pharmacy Orderly keeps medicines moving safely around the hospital. You will pick medication from the pharmacy for the wards against nurses’ requisitions, return unused medication to the pharmacy, and help receive and deliver the weekly pharmacy consignments from IMGP to the wards. You will also deliver stores items to wards and the pharmacy.

The role supports patients directly too: you will help take patients to radiology and other investigations and pick up their results. In the pharmacy you will dust and arrange drug shelves, clean the refrigerator weekly and record it, attend departmental meetings and help with pharmacy data entry and admin. It is a physically active job that suits someone who is organised, careful and quick on their feet.
