{UAH} The Ziggy Story- Andrew Mwenda
"Today I visited Mulago to get the Ziggy Wine story. He was admitted at 9.30pm on July 21, brought in by a "Good Samaritan" with head injuries, with his 4th and 5th fingers broken. Hospital was told he had fallen off a bike. He was an unknown patient and was given a code name Zulu. Luckily, the great neural surgeon Dr. Muhumuza (whom I've written about before) treated him.. His family came on 24th & identified him. He recovered & was discharged on 25th. However, he did not take his medicines to stop convulsions, which led him to be readmitted in 31st.
The damage caused by Ziggy not taking his medicines (when he was home) led to his death. His family took him to Nsambya and claimed he had been assaulted. Nsambya referred him to Mulago. Again they claimed assault. Malago wrote "query" this assault claim on the readmission form.
Uganda's journalism has gone to the dogs (or the dogs have taken over our media). So traditional and social media were writing stories of kidnap and torture when there is an entire medical record at Mulago. It took me 40 minutes to interview the doctor & see the records! Shame!"
