NEWS– As inadequate funding continues to bite hard in most government institutions, the Mbarara City based Mbarara regional referral hospital is no exception as it cries the same date.

News on our news desk has it that Mbarara regional referral hospital is facing a critical shortage of medical supplies and staff due to inadequate funding.

According to reliable sources, this is brought by the difference in the funding required by the health facility and one provided by the government.

It is said that despite requiring Ugx 37 billion annually for medicine, the hospital receives only Ugx 2 billion from the government.

This forces the facility to depend heavily on support from development partners to sustain its operations.
