A shocking photograph of the deteriorating health of Member of Parliament for Kawempe South, Muhammad Ssegirinya, has sent shockwaves across the nation, intensifying concerns about the severity of his medical condition. The distressing image captures Ssegirinya with a visibly swollen stomach, highlighting the gravity of his health crisis.
The legislator, who was recently readmitted to Nsambya Hospital, has been grappling with a series of health complications. His stomach swelling became a critical issue, leading to urgent medical attention. During his earlier treatment in the Netherlands, Ssegirinya disclosed the grim reality of his health, revealing, “I am suffering from skin cancer and have lung infections. If I did not come to the hospital in time, I would die in 6 months. Even my liver has swellings which doctors say should be cut.”
The photograph, widely shared on social media, has sparked an outpouring of sympathy and concern from the public. Many are expressing their solidarity with the embattled legislator and urging for increased awareness about serious health conditions.
Ssegirinya, known for his outspoken advocacy and community engagement, has been open about the challenges he faces. “They keep piling on more diseases; each time they come with a new development. I am frustrated. They have performed an endoscopy and several tests to determine the wounds and swellings on the liver,” he shared during a recent statement.
