THE medical workers in Nebbi Hospital are working frantically to save the lives of triplets who were born prematurely on Wednesday.
The children, all girls, were delivered at eight months by Doreen Atimango, 33, a resident of Pawoo Alala village in Kucwiny sub-county.
Alice Okaba, a midwife, said the babies’ condition is stable, but they need an incubator.
The medical superintendent, Dr. Ben Ochora, said the hospital had not had an incubator for the last 20 years.
Incubators maintain optimal conditions (temperature and humidity) for the growth of premature babies.
Ochora said they had improvised hot water bottles and blankets to keep the babies warm.
