LINDA Nakitende, 18, has
delivered a set of healthy
triplets but she is not
celebrating.
Nakitende, who is lying
helplessly in Mulago hospital
with her three babies, on Monday
said the father of the children,
Ahmed Nsubuga, disappeared three
months ago, as soon as doctors
told him that she had a
complication that required a
caesarean operation.
?I do not have clothes and milk.
I am weak and doctors tell me I
do not have enough water in my
body. They have prescribed some
medicine but I do not have the
money to buy it. I do not know
where to go when I leave the
hospital,? she said.
Nakitende was speaking to The New
Vision from her bed in Ward 5B,
where she has been for three
months.
Nurses who have been taking care
of Nakitende said, ?She depends
on us for everything from food,
and clothing, to medical
attention. Now that she has given
birth and the babies are in good
condition, she should leave the
hospital,? a nurse who preferred
anonymity said.
The nurse added that Nakitende,
who delivered after an operation,
needed proper attention and
routine medical check-ups which
she cannot afford.
?He is unemployed and has another
wife in Buziga,? Nakitende said
of the father of her children.
Robert Akankwasa, who has been
helping Nakitende, confessed that
he could not afford to bring up
the children and appealed for
assistance from the public.
Doctors said the children were in
good condition, although they
were concerned about how their
lives would be outside the
hospital.
