WAKISO – The State House Health Monitoring Unit has scaled up and intensified its operations in wakiso district in a clean up exercise bubbed “Ensuring Compliance to Medical & NDA Regulations”

The pacification exercise comes amidst reports of increasing numbers of imposters masquerading as doctors, clinical officers, enrolled nurses and midwifes while operating drug shops licensed by National Drug Authority as Class C, majority of whom with questionable papers and licences.

While in Kasangati town, Gayaza and Luteete areas, Sister Florence Awati and Sister Grace Edyegu on different occasions interchangeably disguised as severely ill patients in order to catch their victims live in action.

Others include Nu Drug Store in Gayaza and KK Denzo Drug Shop in Gayaza

Dr Ojera further cautioned all drug shops to stick and adhere to the standards and regulations as stipulated by the national drug authority act and also to employ duly qualified health workers that are recognized as permitted by law to practice midwifery but not employing nursing aids with questionable papers to manage the drug shops.

The team comprises of medical doctors, pharmacists, public health & health system specialists, auditors, lawyers, policy analysts, communications and ICT officers as well as administrative and technical support staff.

The multidisciplinary Nature of HMU is considerably further enhanced by the attachment of Senior Investigative Officers (CIDs) from the Uganda Police Force.
