Health Worker Breaks Silence on Kidney Deaths at Mulago, Sends Urgent Message to General Muhoozi

A growing concern over the state of kidney care in Uganda has emerged after journalist Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam publicly shared a heartfelt message from a Ugandan health worker appealing for urgent intervention from Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

In the message, which Adam said he received through WhatsApp, the unnamed medical professional currently rotating in the nephrology ward at Mulago National Referral Hospital describes a worsening situation for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease.

The health worker paints a grim picture of overcrowded wards, limited access to life-saving treatment, and financial barriers that continue to cost lives.
