hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity, said“Sunday night, several
armed robbers gained access to this (paediatric) unit. They came with
guns and machetes. They beat up my colleagues and some nursing mothers.
They took away some babies and money from the patients and nursing
mothers. The security in this hospital has been very porous. Lives of
patients, nurses and doctors are at risk. There is nowhere in this
hospital that is safe. There is so much stealing going on. Visitors are
no longer controlled. People troop into the wards without any check.
Many, including thieves, come in the guise of being patients’ relatives.
Hospital properties are stolen frequently, while electricity supply is a
big challenge in the hospital, because the diesel and generator parts
are stolen frequently by the workers and armed robbers.”The nurses said
security in the hospital has been porous for months as the private
security firm employed by the Hospital management, had withdrawn their
services over non-payment of salaries.When contacted, the Chief Medical
