In India—
Francis Zaake the Mityana Municipality Member of Parliament has been admitted to the intensive care unit of Manipal hospital in India.
His wife Bridget Namirembe yesterday said that Zaake was admitted into the facility for specialist care immediately upon arrival at 11am Indian time.
An intensive care unit (ICU) is a specially designed ward in a hospital in which critically ill patients are kept under constant observation by doctors and nurses and provided intensive treatment medicine.
Zaake left the country after charges of treason and unlawful escape from police custody had been put on him but was given a police bond until October 3 when he is expected to report to police.
Ms Namirembe said the MP has been diagnosed with closed head injury with multiple soft tissue injuries, blunt neck injury due to tear of the ligaments, broad disc slips and post-traumatic disorientation.
Zaake’s first attempt to fly out of Uganda to India on August 30 was blocked at Entebbe International Airport over non-clearance from the Police’s Criminal Investigations Department headed by Grace Akullo.
He was later forcefully arrested together with fellow parliamentarian and Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi and driven to Kiruddu, a Mulago National Referral satellite hospital in Kampala.
Zaake spent two weeks at Lubaga hospital where medical staff, including the hospital’s executive director, Dr Andrew Sekitoleeko, Dr John Bosco Mutakirwa, a physician, Dr Brenda Anena, a general surgeon and Dr Sandra Ninsiima, an intern, had in an August 20 report recommended his immediate referral abroad.
