WIND BLOWS OFF HEALTH CENTRE ROOF, LEAVES PATIENTS STRANDED.

As the saying goes “misfortune does not come in singles”. Reknown for facing several disasters like drought,and heavy floods, heavy winds have also now set in and hit Karugutu Town Council mercilessly. The winds blew the roof of Karugutu Health Centre IV amid afternoon showers yesterday 27. Nov.13. Karugut HCIV is the only Health facility in the district. Patients  were left helpless and stranded as the medical staff and police looked on. This calamity has left many patients at the mercy of God. The district officials however have pledged to do all they can to address the situation.
The heavy wind deposited the roof about 150 metres away from the building

Disastrous day what next?
