Mulago Hospital Executive Director Dr. Byarugaba Baterana has denounced the false information that has been circulating that 2nd Deputy Prime Minister Ali Kirunda Kivejinja succumbed to #Covid-19.
According to Dr. Baterana, such information is barbaric, outdated and archaic and is being spread by people with selfish interests therefore, Ugandans should disregard this information.
Kivejinja was admitted last week and rumour has been circulating on social media platforms that he died of #Covid-19. However, Dr Baterana refuted this pronouncement saying that the situation is not worrying and that he is improving.
Dr Baterana said he first checked on Kivejinja before addressing journalists and they hoped to discharge him in a few days.
When asked to explain what exactly the 2nd PM is suffering from, he said, he is not allowed to disclose information about their patients because it is part of their professional ethics to keep secrets concerning patients.
