Inspector General of Government Aisha Naluzze made an unannounced inspection of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, where the Inspectorate reported a CT-scan idle since June 2025, expired X-ray films, patients sleeping in tents and complaints that patients paid large sums without treatment, according to The Independent. The acting hospital director acknowledged the problems and promised to investigate staff accused of soliciting money; the IGG ordered a report on how revenue from scan services is handled.
