When the New Mulago Hospital was constructed in 1960, the Queen of Holland donated a new Cardiac Laboratory that was installed in the Department of Internal Medicine.

The Institute is partnering with various Stakeholders including Civil society, to promote health through advocating for a healthy lifestyle.
The preventive programs are being addressed through a multi- sectoral approach with the Ministry of Health and other local and international partners.
What Uganda Heart Institute needs now is more working space and lager operational budgets to enable it fulfill its mandate.
By 1969, open heart surgery was being performed in Mulago Hospital, using the method of core cooling. Unfortunately all these developments were lost in the seventies following the political crisis which closed off all the trainees abroad, and served all relocated back to their countries.
In a meeting held in Mulago in 1988, it was resolved that the Heart Institute be established. The meeting composed of Mulago Hospital, Ministry of Health, Makerere University and Uganda Heart Foundation (a non-government Organization composed of mainly Rotarians and other well-wishes). The entities present at this meeting became the founders of the founder of the Uganda Heart Institute. Due to this decision, cardiac services were revived and on 4th April 1096 a first closed Heart Surgery (External Pacemaker implantation) was performed and eventually Open Heart Surgery was also done on 27th December 2007, 50 years after the establishment of the cardiac clinic and 40 year after the initial open heart sugery in Uganda.
In 2001 the Uganda Heart Institute was legally established as a Company limited by guarantee of its founding Bodies namely, Mulago Hospital, Ministry of Health, Makerere University and Uganda Heart Foundation. In UHI therefore commenced operating as a semi-autonomous Unit under Mulago Hospital. The purpose of the registering UHI as a limited Company was to fasten the growth and development of the Institute, by enabling it to solicit for funds and manage its resources at source.
The first Open Heart Surgery case done in October 2007.
