Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

A teacher at Moroto Core PTC is urgently seeking assistance from well-wishers to cover Shs74 million in medical bills incurred after his wife underwent brain surgery at Mengo Hospital to remove a tumor.

With just two years left until retirement, Mr Dokolem explained that, with the help of friends, they managed to secure surgery for his wife in June at Mengo Hospital for Shs25 million. However, complications from the procedure have led to escalating medical bills, which now total Shs74 million.

“I have so far paid Shs34 million, but I still need an additional Shs40 million. I’ve sold everything I own, and if things don’t improve, I may have to sell my last home in Soroti. When I retire, I will be left destitute because I’ve sold all my property in Abim District,” Mr Dokolem lamented.

Earlier this year, Dokolem and his wife were referred to India by Mulago National Referral Hospital, but the high costs of treatment and travel were prohibitive, prompting them to seek care at Mengo Hospital instead.
