Hospital in Entebbe closed due to load shedding

Grade B hospital in Entebbe town has failed to reopen due to the long hours of load shedding.

The hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr. Martin Okmal says that the hospital has failed to handle complicated cases like operating on delivering women due to lack of electricity in the hospital.

He says that they recently closed the hospital due other problems among others the scarcity of water but after rectifying the problem electricity also went off.

Dr. Okmal has asked UMEME to connect the hospital to the State House power line, which he says rarely goes off.

He notes that the hospital runs on a very meagre budget that cannot sustain buying fuel for the generator daily.
