Mulago National Referral Hospital Executive Director Dr. Byarugaba Baterana has been arrested by the State House Health Monitoring Unit.
Without divulging into details, the Unit head, Dr. Warren Namara said that Dr. Baterana was last month invited by the unit to explain on a few things.
He however said they were forced to arrest Dr Baterana after he failed to honour their summons
In February, four people were arrested over an alleged Shs20.5b fraud at Mulago Hospital.
This followed an audit report from the State House Health Monitoring Unit which allegedly unearthed improper accounting of funds at the hospital, forgery of accounting details by service providers of the hospital.
It also cited embezzlement and gross misuse of office by certain big wigs at the hospital.
The State House Health Monitoring Unit was established by President Yoweri Museveni in August 2009 in response to the persistent public outcry on the poor medicines and health services delivery in the country.
