18 months old. He was admitted in Acheru on 2nd February 2015
presenting with post burns contractures on the right hand. He
was burnt as a result of boiling porridge spilling onto his hand

Kakooza was assessed and examined. As a result he was scheduled
for a specialist plastic clinic at CoRSU. Following an X-ray of
the hand and fingers Kakooza was sent for surgery on 24th
