A Non-Communicable Diseases Researcher at the Makerere University School of Public Health has expressed an urgent need to address the high rates of medical errors that exist in the healthcare system.
Dr. Geoffrey Musinguzi who has just recovered from rectal cancer, reveals doing numerous medical procedures in Uganda following his diagnosis while on a trip to Germany and that at one time, he did a medical histology exam at a private laboratory in Kampala, only for doctors at the Uganda Cancer Institute to find everything in the report wrong.
Dr. Musinguzi who was speaking over the weekend at the launch of a book in which he chronicles his journey with cancer, urged government to offer clear guidelines and improve awareness for health workers. END
