Every Thursday, a group of mothers travel to Mulago National Referral Hospital. These are mothers of children born with clubfoot hoping to meet experts who will save their children’s feet from deformation.
Diriisa Kitemagwa, the principal orthopaedics clinical officer at the hospital, says clubfoot is a range of foot abnormalities usually present at birth (congenital) in which a baby’s foot is twisted out of shape or position.
Kitemagwa stresses that these congenital abnormalities can be corrected if the operation is carried out shortly after the baby is born.

The joy has now been replaced with fatigue and endless nerve-racking hours in Covid-19 wards, struggling to save lives.

Resilient Nsimbi takes 52 tabs daily to fight mysterious illness
December 17, 2020 Denis Nsimbi
Five years ago, Denis Nsimbi suffered from unrelenting fatigue and backache. His condition deteriorated as doctors diagnosed him with one illness after the other until the formerly healthy bodybuilder became gravely ill.
Due to lack of proper diagnosis, his body shrank; all his bones are weak and brittle, and he attempts a few footsteps on crutches. Nsimbi shared his story full of anguish amidst hefty hospital bills with YUDAYA NANGONZI.
On this cold December morning at 9:40am, I find Denis Nsimbi lying in pain on his bed. Dressed in shorts in this one-roomed house, he struggles to sit upright to welcome a visitor – exposing his swollen hairy chest and feet. My arrival is just in time for his next dose of 10 tablets waiting on a plastic chair.
