Now according to the premier’s communication advisor Julius Mucunguzi, the ministry of health has further been instructed to ascertain the exact number of nodding syndrome patients and also categorize them according to severity of cases.

Meanwhile he says Gulu regional referral hospital has been recommended to be the focal point and rehabilitation center for handling complicated cases of nodding syndrome.

Part of the response is to see all the 3000 patients provided with medicines (anticonvulsants) and food for four months and non-food items including blankets, bed sheets and mattresses.
