{UAH} Patients pay twice in Uganda Medical Processing Industry

This is how it works in Uganda Medical Processing Industry hail privatisation: 

You take a patient to the hospital and requires a specialized medical attention let us say surgery
- you will certainly be admitted but instantly informed that a specialist doctor is ready to offer 
services and you meet the costs. If it  is a woman for giving birth - you buy everything razerblades,
gloves, polythene bags for beds, bed sheets , soap, basins less of water and bringing with you a 
medical attendant.

You either agree or disagree and meet your creator! 

Once you agree – every single day you are billed until the specialized medical officer will appear to 
handle your case.  The specialist demands his pay let us say 5'000'000 Uganda shilling. This amount 
is not receipted but the later is receipted in addition but also less of medical prescription the patient
 has to buy outside  the medical facility.

I am informed that this too happens in government hospitals. One needs to study this processing 
of patients from Uganda hospital manufacturing industry and how it started 

In a way patients in Uganda pay twice! What type of country is this?!!

These few days I have been studying our medical system in mission hospitals. It is nerve raking. This is 
the most absurd scenario and indeed if Rwanda could implement a health insurance policy/system 
why can't Uganda do the same with the same exertion.

My efforts to this end has been informed by why Uganda population is low that 34 million people the country
 has been talking about since 2000
