NO MORE GOOD DOCTORS IN UGANDA


All along I had kept silent about this matter but this is yielding more and more negative results everyday. 

Many Ugandans have lost their lives and money not because we have no doctors and medical attendants, we have in plenty but most of them are not qualified and others are money oriented. 

The heart of helping people is dead. Now medical centres focus more on money and competition than patients. 

Unqualified doctors and nurses have occupied every medical centre,they don't even differentiate the signs and symptoms of diseases so they just treat anyhow. 

Am going to provide you with examples of people who have suffered due to the existance of these fake doctors. 

Myself; 

In January I felt not well and visited a one medical centre for treatment.  The doctor told me that I had malaria and he gave me expensive and strong tablets that nearly killed. On seeing no change, I visited another centre. The doctor there told me that the fever was due to a neck pain which I had. And it was true.

The second time they made me swallow tablets for malaria yet it was ulcers disturbing me.

My mum;

After taking days passing out heavily and frequently, she was taken to a one big hospital in Kampala whose name I will not disclose. They gave her medicine for ulcers and they also claimed that she had high blood pressure. 

She got no change. Taken to another centre, they told her she had abdominal cancer and she was referred to Namirembe hospital. 

At Namirembe, after reading the signs and symptoms, she was given treatment for typhoid and she is now ok.

Rashid;

My man was seriously sick and he was surprised by the doctor's actions. The doctor drafted two budgets of treatment for him, one was cheap but could take long for him to recover. And another one was expensive but the best.

Rashid was so amazed to see a doctor who had intentions of money rather than catering for his life.

********************************************

Unqualified doctors are due to our poor education system that focuses more on theory than practical hence good grades but less activity. 

Another thing is examination malpractices where people pass with copying and cheating. They study just to go through the system. 

Corruption and sex are also major reasons for the Unqualified doctors and nurses. For the boys, they buy high grades using money and girls use their bodies if necessary. 

The days of good doctors have come to an end and we are facing danger if nothing is done to save the situation.
