WOMAN STEALS NEW BORN AT HOSPITAL

Police this week arrested a woman who allegedly stole a one month old child from maternity ward after camping in the hospital for about a week.

Gulu regional referral hospital may be forced to device a tight restriction mechanism in a bid to improve its security as strangers keep flocking the hospital with unclear intentions.

The hospital’s deputy director Dr. Paska Apiyo reveals that during the insurgency, the hospital opened its doors to community members to take refuge at night but even with the prevailing peace, many idlers still continue to take refuge at the hospital.

Dr. Apiyo says the out patience department was the most infiltrated department in the hospital but they dealt with the intrusion and the idlers have since moved to maternity, risking lives of mothers and new-born babies.

She says that the hospital may consider recommending that each patient have only one attendant in the hospital to rid-off idlers.
