At least 10 patients in Butaleja district, have opened up cases against the in charge of Nabiganda health centre IV, Butaleja district, over what they called exorbitant extortion in the health facility.The aggrieved patients reported their grievances to the police of Nabiganda, on Monday, saying that they often pay for high blood pressure screening, ulcers screening, and typhoid screening, to mention.They further told the police that Dr. Mwesigwa, the in charge of Nabiganda health centre IV, claims that the board which governs the controversial health centre, okayed cost sharing, to help boost the services of the support staff.However, a police officer, who preferred anonymity because law prohibits him to talk to the press, guaranteed that they will bring Mwesigwa, to book, upon carrying out thorough investigation.Jimmy Nambiro, the assistant RDC for Butaleja district, in charge of education and health, says he’s begun to inspect the health centres across Butaleja district, to ascertain the rights and wrongs in health department, now that schools are still closed for the long holiday.Nambiro, says that his visitation will help him to ascertain whether the drugs are enough in Butaleja, and whether there’s good hygiene. He also warned the lazy health workers to forget absenteeism or late reporting for duty.He further directed the District Health Officer, and Chief administrative officer, to swing in action immediately, against the corrupt health workers; then challenged others: with similar concerns to report such cases.Meanwhile, Henry Isogoli, the district inspector of health, decries the worsening cases of malaria in Butaleja district.
