The hospital provides general and specialized mental health treatment for mental health patients and is a teaching hospital for a broad range of mental health specialists, from nursing to Post – Graduate students. Butabika Hospital also provides primary health care services to the people from the surrounding area as well as supports other hospitals within the referral system, while also providing technical advice to  
Show more Health Service Commission and to policy-making bodies. Finally, Butabika Hospital is an important platform for research into mental health trends in Uganda, and approaches to tackling the problem.

Butabika is located in Butabika, about 12 km East of Kampala City and it is the second biggest Hospital in Uganda with a bed capacity of 550, though the number often ranges between 850-1000 in patients.
