At least 16 children are in critical condition at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital after nurses at Kabwangasi Health Centre III in Butebo District allegedly administered an epilepsy drug instead of deworming medication.


The children were reportedly given the wrong medication during a deworming exercise, prompting their transfer to Mbale Regional Referral Hospital for treatment.

Who’s going to take the blame?
