The new hospital is short on medicine

By Alice Lubwama

Patients at newly established facility, Kirudu General Referral hospital in Makindye division are complaining about the shortage of drugs.

The hospital gets between 400-500 patients a day and it has only 32 medical doctors.

When a group of members of parliament led by the workers MP Margaret Rwabushaija visited the hospital to check on its state, several patients who were found on verandas, demanded that Government provide them with drugs instead of constructing building without medicine.

The patients say whenever they go to the hospital; they are always asked by the medical workers to go to nearby clinics to buy drugs.
