Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Mubende Ebola District Taskforce has decried the inadequate resources following the confirmation of an Ebola outbreak in the district.<\/p>\n

Ms Rosemary Byabashaija, the Mubende Resident District Commissioner (RDC), who doubles as the head of Mubende Ebola Taskforce, said they are currently facing a challenge of inadequate resources to run emergency business associated with the Sudan Ebola strain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now struggling with fuel to go and pick the patients from the communities, fuel for transporting the bodies for safe burial and security supposed to accompany these vehicles because sometimes they are threatened by the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

No money yet<\/p>\n

Ms Byabashaija said the Ministry of Health has not yet released the money for carrying out the operations, forcing them to use \u201cmoney from our pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n

District officials have indicated that they need about Shs1.5b to mount a fight against the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had made two budgets for the hospital and the district, but we were advised by the officials from the Health ministry to come up with one budget,\u201d she told Saturday Monitor, adding that while the hospital currently provides fuel for the Ebola safe burial team, its resources are constrained.<\/p>\n

Dr Paul Batiibwe, the director of Mubende Regional Referral Hospital, told this newspaper on Friday that they \u201cdo not have enough space in the isolation centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that while they are \u201cplanning to put up tents \u2026 getting beds to put in the tents is still a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Batiibwe further revealed that they only received Ebola kits from the World Health Organisation. These, he stressed, \u201care not enough to accommodate all frontline health workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
