Patient beds at Namboole
The ministry of Health claims it spent Shs 720 million to rehabilitate structures at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, before it could be used as a treatment centre for COVID-19 patients.
Permanent secretary Dr Diana Atwine says that the arena was in a sorry state by the time it was taken up by the ministry. She says that they fixed all the plumbing and sewerage works, leakages, floors and walls of the arena to give it a fresh and conducive look for the treatment of patients, and to settle utility bills.
