What we do
For nearly 40 years, Mildmay's UK hospital has provided specialised medical care and rehabilitation services for people living with HIV.
In 2020, we began a ground-breaking service in the UK, providing step-down stabilisation and rehabilitation for people who are homeless or rough-sleeping and recuperating from illness or injury.
In 2022, we launched the REBUILD Pathway, providing post-detox, recovery-focused care for people who are homeless.
In 2025, we are developing new international projects and piloting new neuro-rehabilitation and neuropsychological services as part of our commitment to enhancing patient care and addressing evolving healthcare needs.
Mildmay Transforms Lives
Join us in our mission to deliver first-class healthcare to those most in need.
For over 40 years, countless individuals have faced the devastating impact of HIV, with limited access to specialised medical care and rehabilitation services.
The challenges of homelessness further compound the issue, leaving many without a safe space to recover from illness or injury. The fight against stigma and health inequalities continues as vulnerable groups struggle to find the support they so urgently require.
The costs of neglect are grave
Lives lost, families torn apart, and communities marginalised.
Without timely intervention, the cycle of poverty, illness, and stigma is perpetuated. Individuals living with HIV remain at high risk of severe health complications and mental health challenges. Meanwhile, people experiencing homelessness face a heightened risk during their most vulnerable moments of recovery.
These are problems we cannot afford to ignore...
Mildmay Hospital exists to change this narrative
As a charitable hospital based in East London, we provide medical care and rehabilitation pathways for individuals facing complex health challenges - particularly those related to HIV, homelessness and substance misuse.
With innovative programmes like our groundbreaking services for people with complex and severe HIV-related health conditions, including HIV-associated brain impairment (also known as HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder or HAND), and our REBUILD Pathway for people experiencing homelessness and recovering from substance misuse, we ensure everyone receives tailored, compassionate care.
Our approach focuses on holistic treatment to empower patients and dramatically improve their quality of life.
Mildmay’s International Work
Beyond the UK, Mildmay’s international presence has had a profound impact on healthcare systems in East Africa and beyond.
Our international programmes have reached some of the most vulnerable populations, from children born with HIV to adults who face lifelong health challenges. Over the years, we have successfully transitioned numerous HIV and healthcare-related initiatives to local leadership in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Eastern Europe.
By promoting healthcare equity and fighting stigma, we help improve outcomes and create healthier futures for all.
