Private hospitals in Kampala are charging anywhere between Shs3.5 million and Shs10 million per day for treating a critically-ill Covid-19 patient, according to a mini-survey by this newspaper.
Such billing for a week dwarfs the Shs22 million that Information minister Judith Nabakooba last week said the government spends on a coronavirus patient at a public hospital for the whole duration of treatment, upwards of a fortnight.
Our inquiries show that at least two of the private hospitals in the city take between Shs5 million and Shs10 million in deposit before admitting a patient in either High Dependency Unit (HDU) or Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
