Two teaching staffs of Ishaka Adventist Hospital and Health Training Institution have been suspended after videos showing them caning nursing students went viral on social media this week.
The videos caused uproar on the way students are treated at the institution.
According to a Wednesday statement by the hospital administration, the act of administering corporal punishment was against school rules.
Apollo Kakonge the executive director of Ankole civil society forum revealed that reports indicate that corporal punishments have been a daily practice at the school.
He said that the school administration has been reportedly threatening to dismiss students, who have been challenging the practice.
Lydia Komugisha, a senior administrator at the institution said that their rules and regulations are very clear and these actions are not allowed adding that these tutors did what they did in their own capacity.
Some of the victims told our reporter that they accepted the punishments to avoid being suspended if not being expelled from the institution, after making simple errors.
