KANUNGU-Following the continuous load shedding in Kanungu district , Patience Kishaba Nkunda, the district  woman member of parliament, has expressed her worry about the situation of  power supply  at Kambuga hospital  due to absence of an emergency  generator .

She revealed this yesterday on the floor of parliament  saying that it’s so hurting  to find a whole district hospital with no immediate power supply in case of  absence of electricity which has led to loss of lives especially those  on operation .

She also revealed that  the minister of health Jane Ruth Aceng  recently visited the hospital but she has kept a deaf  ear  on filling the problems the health team saw in the hospital.

She has therefore  asked deputy speaker of parliament Rt hon Annitah Annet Among to help them as the district and direct the ministry of health to allocate funds to purchase a new hospital emergency generator  to save lives of pregnant mothers undergoing operation  in case of power black out.

Kishaba says according to the research she made the hospital has so far spent 37 millions  repairing the old generator which is so expensive  and the hospital also lacks oxygen cylinder which puts peoples lives at risk hence calling for a rescue .
