Correction
In our story: “Heart patients overwhelm International Hospital” published on Saturday, Dr Moses Galukande, was referred to as a cardiac surgeon. The truth is that Dr Galukande is a general surgeon and head of the heart project at the International Hospital, Kampala. Dr Clement Agyin, a cardiac surgeon and consultant, headed the 14-member team that carried out the open-heart surgeries at the hospital recently. We regret the mix-up and any inconvenience caused.
