More road accidents

Uganda has the highest fatality rate in the world, 2nd only to Ethiopia. Sadly Bishop Patrick of Fort Portal (our adjoining diocese), a young leading and promising churchman died this week, avoiding a motor cyclist. On the same highway another senior clergyman was killed 4 months ago.

The seatbelt law, and tyre regulations seem to be universally ignored in Uganda. Enforcement might reduce some of our terrible injuries and losses.

PS Later: Two bishops from Eastern Uganda on the way to the funeral also had a car accident. They were both injured, and the wife of one of them was sadly killed.

Cars damage hospital

Hospital property was hit by two cars this week. One passed between some trees somehow and hit the outpatients department. The other, at speed overtook a motor cycle on the main road that runs through the hospital, left the road and hit a tree 30 yards away. The unconscious driver was conveniently located for admission and suturing of his face.
