TMR International Hospital has refuted allegations that it withheld the body of a child who died after sustaining severe injuries in a fall at Greenhill Academy, reportedly over an unpaid medical bill.
Speaking to Kasese Guide Radio last evening, Dr Daniel Talemwa, the hospital’s Executive Director, said that the facility never retained the body and that the child had been under close monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit until he passed on.
Dr Talemwa, who personally participated in the child’s evacuation, explained that the boy arrived in critical condition and required highly specialized ICU care. Dr. Grace Kiwanuka, the Executive Director of the Uganda Healthcare Federation said they reached out to TMR and confirmed that the case had been handled professionally. END
