A section of residents have come out to castigate the poor service delivery at Moroto regional referral hospital, which they say is leading to deaths.

Some of the locals speaking with Ateker Moroto FM this afternoon have accused some doctors of negligence and lack of passion for their profession.

This development follows the demise of a mother Nadiye Sarah Bole, who developed complications after a C-section from the hospital but died from Mulago national referral hospital this afternoon where she had been referred for further management.

Samuel Bole, the deceased’s elder brother has intimated that his sister’s death could have emanated from negligence of the medical personnel who operated his sister.

He narrated that his sister went into a state of unconsciousness after the C-section, prompting doctors at the regional referral to refer her for further medical attention.

Bole noted that this is not the first time such a tragic incident is happening to a mother seeking maternal medical services and urged the hospital management to improve on its services.

While speaking with the director Moroto regional referral hospital Dr.Stephen Pande over the phone, he called for calm, saying as a hospital, they have channels of handling such complaints.

Dr.Pande says as a facility, they conduct death audits to establish the cause of death or areas of weaknesses, after which appropriate action is taken.
