I have posted enough information regarding the dumping of money into Mulago
Hospital and those that have a time to read it will get duped when they have
the information. If you want to send it surely it is your money not mine. The
reason I made these postings is to make those that up to today do not know why
Mulago hospital and Uganda hospitals are dead , to get the facts. Uganda
government abandoned the medical sector as soon as Obote got out of power and
Ugandans of Ugandans at heart are here ready and willing to resurrect the
sector. I have seen a budget of five billion dollars which is even more than
the entire Uganda budget. Who am I to stand in their way? That is why it is
important for us to identify our selves for now I wonder if any of those pumped
up to burn their money have been in Ugandanet and if they contributed. Or these
are simply new suckers that will dump their money in Uganda and get lost from
our eyes as the one that were in Ugandanet. The only man laughing is Yoweri
Museveni.
Oh by the way when you get the cash ready, I have a very reliable brother in
Kampala he can be a Ugandans at heart co coordinator at a phone call.

Mulindwa:
1) For a fact Mulago hosipital needs the assistance (see the article once
again) in form of equipment -among others.
2) On whether the equipment is to be accepted, get that information directly
from Mulago or Ministry of Health of Uganda. It will be more authoritative than
trying to get it from me -since I do not work for Mulago/MOH.
3) Finaly, if this does not make sense to you, do yourself a favor and follow
your own advice that you have been giving others;"Let this one go."

Duke Donating Used Equipment to Ugandan Hospital
Posted: Jul. 30, 2007
Durham -- The surplus warehouse at Duke University Medical Center was
overflowing with medical equipment that the hospital no longer needed. But a
surgeon has helped launched an aid program to get the equipment to hospitals
that do need it.
Dr. Michael Haglund, a neurosurgeon at Duke, went on a church mission trip to
Uganda, where he assisted local physicians at Mulago National Hospital in
Kampala. The lack of proper equipment at the hospital made caring for patients
difficult, he said.
The hospital had no oxygen or blood pressure monitors and only one anesthesia
machine and ventilator.
A victim of a car wreck was kept alive by the one ventilator until the power to
the hospital went out one night. When the backup generators kicked in, the
machine was reset from eight to zero breaths per minute.
"His brain swelling increased dramatically, and he died," Haglund said, noting
that an oxygen monitor might have alerted nurses to the problem.
So, Haglund decided that, when he returned to Durham, he would try to help the
hospital with some of its needs by scrounging used equipment from Duke
University Hospital.
Then he discovered the stash of equipment in the surplus warehouse.
"The stuff that's over there that's usable, nobody knew that it was there," he
said. "Next thing I know, we had $1.1 million worth of equipment and, like, six
tons of medical equipment we're shipping over to Uganda."
Haglund's effort prompted the medical center to establish Duke Global Health
Plus to donate surplus equipment and supplies to struggling hospitals around
the world.
Haglund is trying to round up $35,000 in donations to pay for shipping costs.
He and a 28-member neurosurgery team plan to head to Uganda on Aug. 10 to
deliver the equipment and train Mulago National Hospital staff to use it.
"We can change in one week how they practice medicine in that hospital," he
said.
To donate to the effort, contact Anne Bax, associate director for finance and
administration at the Duke Global Health Institute, 234 Trent Hall, Box 90519,
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710 or call 919-681-7712.

So you simply do not know what has to be done if any medical equipment is
going to a nation. You are working on a hypothesis based on "I do not think"
And it is that hypothesis that we are basing on to make these calls for money
donations.
Sorry I some times forget that I am dealing with Ugandans and get emotional.

Indeed this has been the practice (i.e. receiving donated equipment) for
sometime. And I do not think these rotarians first got permission from Mulago
to donate.

Duke Donated Equipment free of charge except shipping. according to the
article, a doctor from Duke university Hospital had worked at Mulago and saw
the need for equipment there. I passed on that information (that was a press
report actually)in an earlier posting to those who were fundraising for
Mulago. I do not understand why you think it is me fundraising. Over to you

So as an old man let me kindly ask a very silly question here. Do you
know for a fact that The ministry of Health in Uganda needs this assistance? In
other words, has the MOH authorised you to raise these moneys/equipments and
send them to Uganda to be used by the hospitals? Or you will simply raise up
and raise the funds with equipments and send them to Uganda hospitals and
instruct the Doctors to use them just as Dr. Kiiza Besigye drove to The North
to commission an incinerator in a government hospital?
It amazes how a simple term as logic eludes Ugandans always.

Members,
This is a list of Uganda hospitals. We are still
compiling. It appears this Mulago case has moved quite
a few people. Emotions are usually good because they
move even the non believers to act.
I have a series of suggestions:
Short Term
Medium Term
Long Term
I settle for the long term, but those willing to help
Mulago now can go ahead and do their part.
Uganda has 31 million people currently a quick fix is
not going to help. A five year plan of overhauling the
entire Uganda health care system is quite necessary.
This requires the cooperation of the Ugandan people,
government of Uganda, the opposition parties and
whoever else is interested.
A minimum of 2 billion dollars is going to be required
over a period of five years to repackage Uganda's
health system. Doctors and other health personnel are
going to have to be retrained to use modern medical
devices and technology. The current medical schools in
Uganda are going to have to be upgraded to meet
international medical standard. Doctors salaries have
to be good in order for them to perform
Folks a better way has to be found to provide quality
health care to Ugandans. The current one is
unacceptable. Ugandans should be assited so that the
few do not spend money in search of better treatment
overseas.
Mr Ahmed Katerega. Take these issues straight to his
excellency the President of Uganda. His promise of
industrializing Uganda is long overdue. At least he
can meet one goal...that of making Uganda's health
care better.
And to you Ugandans outside planning to collect
medical equipment, do not even try it unless you know
for sure that you can ship them. Once you put word
outside there that you are looking for used medical
equipment, you will be overwhelmed by the
response...you will be faced with storage problems and
all that kind of stuff.
