Police in Iganga are considering closing down Hope Medical clinic after a doctor there was arrested for selling a newborn child.
Detectives at Kaliro police station say the doctor, Joseph Lwanga, a gynaecologist, confessed to selling a one-day-old baby to one Phiona Katushabe, a resident of Kaliro town council, for Shs 300,000.
The matter came to a head after Katushabe's lover, Iddi Gavamukulya, found her with a baby boy yet she had not been pregnant.
After her arrest, Katushabe reportedly confessed that she had bought the baby from Dr Lwanga, 40. The doctor, in turn, said he had rescued the baby from a woman, who had visited the clinic to procure an abortion.
The woman, who was eight months pregnant, reportedly said she did not know the father of her unborn baby. Residents complained that Hope Medical clinic had become an abortion centre.
"When women go to them for abortion, they keep the babies in their incubator until they make nine months, then they sell them to barren women who wish to have babies," charged Godfrey Isabirye, a resident.
The regional police spokesperson, Samson Lubega, said Lwanga faces charges of procuring an abortion and selling a child.
The proprietor of Hope Medical clinic, Dr Wilberforce Bamudaziza, declined to speak to us about the allegations levelled against his health centre.
