He was never treated from the Morning Side Clinic in Durban as earlier reported.” “He was treated in Johannesburg and discharged after a day. What I can categorically state is that the Premier will be back home any time this week but not on Monday (yesterday) as was earlier reported,” Kanya said.Nsibambi was admitted to Mulago Hospital, Uganda’s main referral hospital, with high blood pressure on May 5. He was handled by Dr. Rutakingirwa and Professor Otim. Although his condition had stabilised, his physicians recommended further medical examination by cardiologists in South Africa.The premier was accompanied by his physician, Dr. Rutakingirwa.Ends
