An intern medical student from Soroti University is in trouble for allegedly extorting money from patients in Soroti Regional Referral Hospital.
The Hospital authorities arrested and handed Cyraton Mutambi to the Police for allegedly soliciting 148, 000 shillings from diabetes patients this morning.
Benzy Omoya, the Principal Administrator of Soroti Hospital says that the suspect was arrested from the Out- Patients Department when he was soliciting money from the diabetes patients ahead of the clinical day on Friday following a tip off from the patients.
He says that Mutambi has been working in the medical ward but decided to assign himself to the diabetes ward for personal reasons, wondering the type of medic he will be with this level of corruption.
