Former Kampala Lord Mayor and Kampala Central MP Erias Lukwago has reportedly been rushed to Mulago National Referral Hospital in critical condition, according to an update shared by his former deputy, Doreen Nyanjura Omutatina.
The report has renewed attention on Lukwago’s health, although details about his current condition, the circumstances of his reported admission and the treatment he is receiving have not been provided in the available information.
Lukwago has reportedly been dealing with several health complications, including respiratory problems that have caused severe breathing difficulties.
His reported medical challenges also include spinal complications, persistent upper limb radiculitis and severe pain around a previous surgical site.
According to the account, he was advised to seek a review from the spine surgeons who previously treated him in India. The recommendation followed concerns about his ongoing spinal problems.
There have also reportedly been difficulties conducting further medical investigations at Mulago Hospital. Doctors were previously unable to carry out a new MRI scan because they could not establish the type of artificial spinal implants used during his earlier surgery.
That detail adds another layer to the reported medical challenges, although the available information does not establish whether the issue has since been resolved or whether it is connected to his latest reported hospital admission.
Nyanjura Omutatina, who previously served as Lukwago’s deputy, is cited as the source of the latest update. However, no further details from Lukwago’s family, medical team or hospital have been provided in the supplied report.
Lukwago has held prominent political roles in Kampala, serving as Lord Mayor and representing Kampala Central in Parliament. News about his health therefore carries significance beyond his immediate circle.
For now, the most pressing questions concern his current medical status, the care he is receiving and whether an official update will clarify the severity of his condition.
Until more information is available from an official source, the details of Lukwago’s reported hospitalisation and critical condition remain attributed to the report shared by Nyanjura Omutatina.
