The Ministry of Health has confirmed that 80 percent of about 100 health workers that worked as emergency staff in the Mubende Ebola Treatment Unit have received their allowances.
The health workers, who had been deployed to aid other doctors in treating patients in Mubende District following an Ebola outbreak, complained of delayed allowances.
Emmanuel Ainebyoona, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health says most of the payments have been made and about 20 percent are pending but are being handled as well.
Different people had been deployed in the Ebola treatment centres like World Health Organisation, Health ministry, and Infectious Disease Institute.
Uganda confirmed its first Ebola Virus Disease case in September last year after the Ministry of Health confirmed a 28-year-old man who tested positive for the virus and later succumbed to the disease on the same day.
The disease killed 56 people and infected 142 others.
In December last year, President Museveni announced that Uganda was now free of Ebola.
