Hon Shamim Malende the Kampala Woman Member of Parliament is out of the Intensive Care Unit-ICU at the Agha Khan Hospital where she was rushed Tuesday evening hours after undergoing abdominal surgery.
According to James Mubiru, the Lubaga North Councilor who is with the legislator in Nairobi, doctors invited the caretakers at around 11 am on Thursday morning to receive Malende after being taken out of the ICU and returned to the general ward.
Malende was rushed to Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi on Sunday morning where she underwent abdominal surgery on Monday during, which doctors found that she had ingested a chemical that affected her intestines.
The operation was successful, but on Tuesday evening the MP developed severe stomach pain and was rushed to ICU.
Mubiru told journalists that Malende is currently recuperating in the general ward as doctors continue monitoring her.
"She can now recognize people, but she still cannot talk and is weak," said Mubiru.
Malende was first admitted at the Uganda Martyrs Hospital in Lubaga Division, Kampala after she reportedly suffered a seizure while at her Kawempe residence on November 13th, 2022.
While in Lubaga, she was placed on oxygen but her condition worsened, prompting her transfer to the Aghakhan hospital on November 20th, 2022. She was accompanied by Mubiru, her mother Jane-Francis Nassuuna, and fiancée Shamiru Ssebunya.
