Ministry of Health to Create Ambulance Management Task Force Team.

During a meeting held today 12-12-2022 at Heritage Courts Hotel Arua, which was attended by RDCs, LC5s, CAOs and DHOs in WestNile region, the Ministry of Health officials have disclosed plans to create District and Regional task force teams to monitor and control operations of Ambulances across in the various Districts.

The meeting focused majorly on sensitisation and usage of Ambulances in the Country.

While responding to complains raised by Mr Ayikobua Festus RDC for Maracha District and Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil Deputy RDC Arua District over extortion of money by some Ambulance Drivers, Mr Byaruhanga William the Senior Logistic Officer in Ministry of Health said, the Ministry allocates monthly fuels worth 4,000,00p Shs for each District to run the Ambulances.

He warned any government Ambulance driver who extorts money for fuel from patients or their relatives, to desist from the Act or the law will catch up with them.

Mr Festus Ayikobua, the RDC for Maracha District urged Ministry of Health to publicly disclose fuel cards meant for the Ambulances in the Districts.

He said, to avoid issues of Drivers extorting money from Patients, let Ministry of Health handover the fuel cards to CAOs for the issues of accountability and transparency so that the wananchi will know there is money allocated by government to fuel the Ambulances.

The ministry officials lectured the RDCs, LC5s, CAOs and DHOs about the roles and laws governing the operations of Ambulances, the types of vehicles that are recommended as Ambulances and the standards including the equipments that are supposed to be installed into them.

It is from this submission that, the Deputy RDC for Arua, Mr Ezama Ham interjected to defend MPs on Humanitarian basis.

He said, if MPs buy other cars apart from hard body Landcruisers and they build them as Ambulances with life saving equipments installed in them to save the gap in the health sector, it should be welcomed rather having nothing in the middle of a growing demand for it.

The Deputy RDC however disagreed with some politicians who buy Tricycles and donate them to the voters as Ambulances.

He said, it is even much better for a politician to by an iPsum car or Noah or Regius or any other type of better car in this category and donate them to the voters to aid the stretching transport gap in the health sector across the Districts.

Following lengthy lecture by the MoH officials who said, Policy does not allow anyone to carry dead bodies in the Ambulances even if the person was sick but died in the Ambulance on the way being transported to the hospital and the dead body should immediately be dropped at any near by Health center in order to be picked later by the relatives, Mrs Sandra, the Assistant CAO for Arua District said, let the Ministry put the issues of policy aside and look at such incident from the basis of Humanity.

She gave an example where the patient may die in Kiryadongo and the driver decides to drop the dead body in near by Health center in that area when the same Ambulances that took the person will be returning to Arua, where is the Humanity, she asked amidst cheers from Maracha District LC5 Chairman Hon Obitre Stephen, Deputy RDC Mr Ezama Ham and other members in the meeting.

Her submissions remained unresponded to, by the Ministry officials.

Stay tuned for more.

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
