IGG ORDERS ARREST OF NURSE IN KABALE OVER ALLEGED NEGLECT OF PATIENT The Inspector General of Government (IGG), Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala, has ordered the arrest of Mr. Tumuheki Nicholas, an enrolled nurse at Kabale Regional Referral Hospital, over alleged neglect of a patient in casualty. The directive was issued during a spot check at the hospital, conducted at the start of the IGG’s Regional Office tour, which commenced with the IGG Kabale Regional Office. Preliminary findings indicate that the suspect allegedly instructed the caregiver of a profusely bleeding patient, who had been referred from Kamwezi Health Centre IV, to lay the patient on the floor on grounds that the hospital had not been informed in advance to prepare a bed. Further allegations indicate that the caregiver was sent by the suspect to purchase medicine from a nearby pharmacy after being told that the hospital had no medicines. However, the caregiver reports that the medicines were never administered to the patient. Ministry of Health- Uganda Kakooza Savio Ntensibe #ExposeCorruption
