Research Fellow, Dr. Stella Nyanzi has blasted government of Uganda after three kids died due to insufficient oxygen at Mulago hospital.<\/p>\n
In the past few days, At least three babies died due to lack of oxygen at Kawempe Referral Hospital.<\/p>\n
Kawempe Referral Hospital is currently hosting Mulago National Referral Hospital\u2019s obstetrics and gynaecology department.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am enraged that two tiny babies died because of dictator Museveni’s bad governance. I am outraged that even though this mother survived dying while giving birth in a public health facility, her babies died because there was insufficient oxygen stored in the hospital,\u201d says Nyanzi in a Facebook post before adding that; \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cI am appalled that there is no respite for the poor in Uganda, who must go to under-stocked public hospitals to die preventable deaths.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am mad with anger, pain and disillusionment that the hospital authorities think it is okay to explain away this dangerous stock-out of oxygen with lame excuses of the distance between Mulago and Kawempe.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus Christ, it is not rocket science that any health facility delivering babies needs ample stocks of oxygen on site 24\/7!\u201d<\/p>\n
Below is Stella Nyanzi\u2019s full post<\/strong><\/p>\n Magdalene Namakula, who is fifty-nine years old, carried a multiple pregnancy with triplets to Mulago Hospital. <\/em><\/p>\n She successfully gave birth to each of these three baby human beings. Hallelujah! Bweza bwa Mukasa! And then the babies needed oxygen. <\/em><\/p>\n The whole of this national referral and teaching hospital had insufficient oxygen in storage for three little babies. <\/em><\/p>\n The babies were forced to share. One baby died. A second baby died. The third baby lived. Magdalene is inconsolable.<\/em><\/p>\n I am enraged that two tiny babies died because of dictator Museveni’s bad governance.

The laxities and excesses of dictator Museveni’s Ministry of Health fucked these triplets to death. <\/em><\/p>\n The oversights and negligences of dictator Museveni’s Ministry of Finance and Planning fucked up these triplets. <\/em><\/p>\n The laisez faire approach of public servants underpaid by Museveni’s Ministry of Public Service fucked two of the triplets to death! Museveni murdered Magdalene’s triplets. <\/em><\/p>\n Museveni is a murderous witch who kills baby Ugandans within hours of their birth.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Research Fellow, Dr. Stella Nyanzi has blasted government of Uganda after three kids died due to insufficient oxygen at Mulago hospital.
