They have given the ministry of health upto the end of this month to repair the x-ray unit that was closed two months ago due to a mechanical breakdown.

Kawolo hospital that also handles patients from Buvuma, Mukono and Kayunga districts, has not been offering x-ray services to patients for the last 2 months.

The hospital administrator Haruna Wamala said the hospital requires 3 million shillings to have the machine fixed.

He adds that the money they receive from government is conditional and cannot be diverted.

Patients that require x-ray services are now referred to Rippons, a private unit in Jinja, which many say is very expensive.

The ministry of Permanent secretary Dr. Asuman Lukwago tells KFM that they have already contacted Phillips, the supplier of the machine to have the fault fixed.

Kawolo hospital built in 1968 is in the sorry state with many inadequacies including shortage of water as well as dilapidated structures.

The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has disconnected Kyambogo University leaving the toilets there to stink.

The students and some of the administrators of Kyambogo University allege that NWSC disconnected the institution of learning over non payment. Now over 20,000 people the university houses are fetching water from nearby wells and dirty water sources.

Now we are told that the university’s sanitation and health services are poor due to the shortage of water at Kyambogo University.

Kyambogo University has been failing to address water problems for over three times. The students at Kyambogo University are planning a violent strike if their university fails to address the water crisis.
