WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE?.

#legallyhers

Every person in Kyanamukaka knows that Kalule's hospital does not allow pregnant women to come in for antenatal without their spouses. Mama Brenda was new to the village and went there for urgent help. Nga doesn’t the nurse chase her! Mbu if she doesn’t present a man, no treatment. Is this even legal?

The Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (our supreme law) says that no person should be discriminated against based on age, sex, race or ethnicity and social or economic standing. This means that every woman should be allowed and given the same services as any other person at the health centre. If she wants to see a doctor or receive medical attention, it should be given to her as it would be given to any other person. If any health centre demands for a man or spouse to allow a person to receive medical attention, it means that health centre and its employees are discriminating against you on the basis of your social status and gender because even single people are entitled to health care by law.

If Brenda should be turned away and she gets a complication such as losing a baby or any other health complication as a result of not being attended to, she can sue that health centre for medical negligence and for discrimination contrary to the law.

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...
