Senior police officer Sam Omala joined the cleaning exercise, leading a team of officers, the Rwanda Muslim Students Association, Mulago School of Nursing and other volunteers. The army of cleaners were able to leave the hospital clean after three hours of work. There was also a tree planting exercise. The hospital will hold its next hygiene day on Saturday.

The hospital executive director, Dr Byarugaba Baterana, urged the public to maintain strict hygiene to avoid the spread of diseases when they visit the hospital.
