The Uganda Police have in their custody four medics from the Women’s Hospital and Fertility centre in Bukoto over a failed medical procedure on a newly wed bride.
This development has been confirmed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Spokesperson, Charles Twiine.
He adds that the four have been detained at Kira Road Police Station as investigations continue into the matter.
Joan Namutebi (bride), is said to be in critical condition, following the family planning procedure that took place at the Women’s hospital in Bukoto, a city suburb.
The couple were wedded last Friday before going to the Bukoto Women’s hospital the following day, to have the Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion, a family planning procedure.
According to details of the procedure, a doctor puts the IUD in a small tube that he inserts into a woman’s vagina. The doctor then moves the tube up through the cervix and into the uterus.
Then the person performing the procedure pushes the IUD out of the tube and pulls the tube out. Strings attached to the IUD will hang 1-2 inches into the vagina.
However, reports indicate that during the procedure, the victim, developed abdominal complications and went into a coma. She was later rushed to Victoria Hospital in Bukoto where she was admitted.
