RE: SYNDICATE AT GUL-LU HOSPITAL


Gul-lu RRH announced new CT-scan services amidst questionable quality of services at the department

                 

The general public of Gulu City and Acoli sub-region as abwhole received with happiness the news of CT scan services at the regional referral hospital which has been the most searched for services in Aber Hospital and in kampala over many years.  The department which is well built and equiped with modern Radiology equipments including two ultrasound machines, digital x-ray machine and now the CT-scan with 1 dark room attendant, and two radiographers is operating at half or quarter of it's potential as over many years the quality of it's basic ultrasound scan results has be questioned by many doctors within the facility. On average every mother/patient do more than 2 scans because the scan results from the hospital done by the two radiographers are disowned by the doctors who prefer results from private clinic preferably Pi-Wan Medical Center.  The two radiographers are also said to be always out of their duty station most time. Several attempts was made to address this through the voice of the doctors and nurses to the hospital administrators who kept quiet about this questionable skills of the personels whose scan results are disowned and yet inconveniencing the patients especially disastrous to those patients from distance areas with no enough money to cater for some other services. A number of questions are running in the minds of people;


1) Who are these radiographers whose results are disowned by the doctors within the same hospital? 


2) Are they really qualified ? 


3) Why are their results being disowned/refused? 


4) How can the hospital help the public from constantly seeking for services at private clinics at a cost yet those services are available within the hospital? 


5) Is it an Intentional act to benefit the private facilities or the officers are not qualified?


6) If the basic ultrasound scan results are not acceptable, how horrible will it be for the complex CT-scan ?


Ministry of Health (MoH) and all the stakeholders must intervene, if not people will not benefit from the expensive machines, the government of Uganda is installing at different public facilities!

The gimmick in Bardege-Layibi is not an honest bid for leadership but a double syndicate.

-
Bardege-Layibi became a constituency when Gulu municipality was elevated to a city status. In 2021 General Election, that constituency had the most powerful candidates in Acholi subregion. People who vied for the position of Member of Parliament Bardege-Layibi Constituency includes the last Gulu municipality member of Parliament, Hon. Lyandro Komakech, Counsel Tony Kitara, a renown lawyer and a proprietor of the Covenant bar and grill, Pastor Olal Roy and others. Hon. ojara Martin Mapenduzi who had exhibited peculiar and charismatic leadership ability during his time as speaker and Chairperson Gulu district emerged a winner in that tight race.  Upon his victory and eventual swearing in as the member of Parliament of the Constituency, he has made Gulu city and Bardege-Layibi Constituency in particular very tall, visible and loud. Because of his wisdom and abilities, the opposition entrusted Hon. Mapenduzi, a first timer in Parliament to head Local Government Public Accounts Committe...

On 30th August 2023 the news of Gabon coup started pouring on different medias. The Gabonese Army led by Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema took to the National Television announcing to Gabonese and international community that they have ousted President Ali Bongo, because of what they call electoral irregularities and unfairness. This brought Bongo's reign in the West African state to an end. Ali Bongo served as president of Gabon for 15 years succeeding his father Omar Bongo who had served for 41 years. Gabon incident came in a time when West Africa only within three years suffered at least 8 coups among others Niger's. The West African coups are running extremely fast like bush fire moving from one state to another with a number of grievances as woods fueling them. Most of these states in West Africa are semi independent since most of these countries are supposed to have their Reserve banks in Paris, France. The western world, France in particular can support a certain president a...
