The duo was arrested by the state house health monitoring unit following reports of embezzlement and corruption in Mulago by patients (When were they arrested)
The ministry of health PS Diana Atwine confirmed receiving the court ruling and said steps are underway to deregister Ndikuno Rosemary for corruption and tainting the medical profession.
“With such cases I don’t think doctors should demand for disbanding of the health management unit and accuse us of mishandling medical professionals, we still have some corrupt and undisciplined medics like these ones to deal with” Dr Atwine explained.
