“It is very traumatic. I sympathise with her father. He lost a son who was clobbered to death by goons not so long ago,” a depressed Lukwago told Daily Monitor in a telephone interview.
Mr Lukwago said the decision to transfer Ms Kisakye to IHK was taken because it is the only hosptal in the country with dialysis machine. The Kidney dialysis machine filters harmful wastes, salt, and excess fluid from blood.
