The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) Board Chairman Daniel Waswas has condemned in the strongest terms, the violent and unjustified attack on one of their doctors, Dr. Thomas Aiyaka, which took place early this morning. The assault, reportedly carried out by two intoxicated police officers, is a shocking act of brutality against a health care professional who was simply doing his duty to take care of the sick. Doctors, nurses and all health care workers dedicated their lives to serving the public, often under challenging and demanding circumstances. For any individual especially those entrusted with enforcing the law to violently attack a doctor is not only unacceptable but deeply disturbing. Such actions undermine public trust in Law enforcement and create an unsafe for our healthcare workers. “We are working closely with police authorities in NCD toi ensure that jstice is served swiftly.” “The two officers involved have been removed from the hospital premises, and we expect full accountability for their actions,” said Dr. Waswas. He said, “Gerehu Hospital is now secured, and their staff and patients are safe.” “Dr. Aiyaka is receiving the necessary medical care, and our thoughs and prayers are with him for a speedy recovery.” He added, they will not tolerate any form of violence or intimidation against their medical professionals. Healthcare workers must be able to perform their duties without fear for their safety. “We call on the Police Commissioner and the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.” “To all our dedicated healthcare workers in NCD, we stand by you.” “You have our full support. And we will ensure that your safety is always prioritized.”
