Over 20 victims of the recent bus accident involving Ntungamo Rwanda buses have been discharged from hospitals in Ntungamo district after receiving medical treatment.

According to Dr. Innocent Twesiime, the medical superintendent at Itojo Hospital, at least 23 patients were discharged after receiving care from the medical teams there. Of the remaining patients, four required a CT scan to assess possible skull fractures and were referred to Mbarara University Hospital for further treatment. In total, 30 patients were admitted to the hospital.

Meanwhile, at the Doctors Referral Hospital, Dr. Nicholas Karuhanga reported that four patients who had been stabilized were taken back to Rwanda for further treatment, while three others were discharged to be with their relatives in Uganda.

Dr. Twesiime indicated that the majority of the cases treated at the hospital were not critical, except for two individuals, one in a coma and another with a limb fracture.

The majority of the discharged patients were Rwandans, and they were taken back home by the same bus companies that they were travelling with when the accident occurred, as well as by their relatives.

The accident involving two Ntungamo Rwanda buses occurred along the Ntungamo-Kabale highway, leaving several passengers injured. Local authorities have urged bus companies to ensure that their vehicles are roadworthy to prevent future accidents.
