Gulu Hospital Today Discharged 34 Patients, Bringing the Total to 161 Patients who Recovered from COVID -19 in Uganda.

Some of the recovered patients at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital hours before they were discharged.

Gulu Regional Referral Hospital on Thursday afternoon discharged a total of 34 patients who recovered from COVID -19.

26 of those discharged are Ugandan truck drivers while eight are foreign truck drivers. All were admitted to the hospital for treatment after they tested positive for the virus from Elegu border point in Amuru district.

Dr. Paska Apiyo, a Physician and the Head of Case Management at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital revealed that they would have discharged 55 patients today who recovered but that the test results of the other 21 delayed at Uganda Virus Research Institute, prompting them to discharge only 34.

“Another 21 patients, if their results were out, would have been released together with these ones. Probably tomorrow or the next day, we will again discharge a good number of them.” said Dr. Apiyo

According to Apiyo, the success that the hospital is registering in treating COVID -19 patients is attributed to self-motivated medical staffs who have dedicated their lives to serving humanity despite the challenges they face.

Dr. James Elima, the Hospital Director revealed that out of the 26 Ugandan truck drivers who recovered, eight are residents of Wakiso, three from Kayunga, two from Soroti, two from Masaka and one each from the districts of Bukedia, Kyotera, Adjumani, Kitgum, Kanungu, Amuru, Iganga, Mukono, Jinja, Kamuli, and Hoima.

Elima adds that the surveillance team from the hospital is working closely with the different District COVID -19 Taskforces in the region in contact tracing and admitting of positive cases.

“This is thanks to the work of the surveillance team in Gulu district and the entire region. Also, we built a special working relationship with the taskforce in Gulu district and the entire Acholi sub-region under the leadership of Gulu RDC,” Dr. Elima Revealed

Maj Santos Okot Lapolo, Gulu Resident District Commissioner who doubles as the Chairman of Gulu District COVID -19 Taskforce appealed to the general public to stop stigmatizing those who recovered from the virus, saying stigmatization is one of the barriers in the fights against COVID -19.

He also asked those discharged to go back home and continue sensitizing their community members to observe all the precautionary measures to stem the spread of the virus.

Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu, the State Minister for Primary Health Care who was the guest of honor during the ceremony to discharge the recovered patients revealed that this is the highest number of recoveries Uganda has had, thanks to the health workers.

“Today, Uganda has registered the highest number of recoveries ever since the outbreak of Coronavirus,” said Dr. Kaducu.

“None of you was sent to go and train to become a professor of Coronavirus, but you managed because you are competent and because you have the capability and potential,” She added.

The total nimber of recoveries from Gulu Regional Referral Hospital stands at 43 ever since the first patient was admitted to the facility on 1st May.

Uganda has so far registered a total of 161 recoveries and no covid-19 related deaths.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
