MPs express concern at plans to close Kilembe hospital
In a fairly related development, a section of MPs from Kasese are urging the president to intervene and help restore the Kilembe Hospital, which is facing an imminent closure. The legislators say the hospital has a catchment area of over 5 sub-counties and serves 200,000 people. These say that the hospital is facing reduced manpower and medical supplies. The health ministry undertook to close the hospital, due to continued damage to the infrastructure, due to flooding.
