This article is about how women in the country of Uganda die during labor due to the unintended aid in the hospitals. Jennifer Anguko was bleeding to death in the maternity ward of an public hospital, no obstetrician examined her for 12 hours. Ms. Anguko soon was pronounced dead. Ms. Anguko was a popular elected official wanting treatment in a 400 bed hospital , the lawsuit over body might be the first legal test of the African Government to provide maternal care. This brings many questions on the unintended impact of foreign aid on Africa's public health system. Study show that Africa's government has been reducing their own share of domestic spending devoted to health. A finance expert in Uganda’s Health Ministry said the country's health spending had increased, “but not that substantially.” Still, the government set off a bitter domestic debate this spring confirming that it had paid more than half a billion dollars for fighter jets, other military hardware and triple the amount of its own money dedicated to the entire public health system in the last year. Uganda’s experience shows the limits of the care when a system is poorly managed and lacks the resources to deliver decent services. Dr. Olive Sentumbwe-Mugisa, a Ugandan obstetrician participated in the Health Ministry’s investigations of the deaths of both Ms. Anguko and Sylvia Nalubowa, a second woman named in the lawsuit against the government, and concluded that both women arrived in time to be saved. In its lawsuit filed in March, the Center for Health, Human Rights and Development, a Ugandan nonprofit group, contended that the government violated the two women’s right to life by failing to provide them with basic maternal care. To solve this issue i feel the African government should use their money wisely. There should be money for hospitality tools and health care. They should care for the people who are dying daily because if the lack of hospitality. The group that's in a position to effect change is the local government and the people affected by the situation. The government should provide the care they are suppose to be providing that way people heath inst in a bad state neither are their children s. Its probably hard for a poor government to provide to the hospital , but they should even out the money with other money that way things would been such a problem. I doesn't have to be a large amount of money towards the hospital , but enough to improve the maternal deaths of women and their unborn children.
