The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has recorded an increase in the number of road traffic accidents compared to the previous week.
Public Relations Manager Pauline Mbangweta said the hospital has recorded 90 road traffic accidents this week as compared to the 71 cases that were recorded last week.
Ms. Mbangweta could however, not say the reason behind the increase in road traffic accidents.
She told ZANIS in a telephone interview in Lusaka today that the institution has recorded a total of 275 cases of injury.
She said among these cases, 90 were as a result of road traffic accidents, 12 were domestic accidents, 33 were accidental injuries, one was a gunshot while 130 were various injuries.
Meanwhile, Ms. Mbangweta said the institution has recorded 20 new defilement cases this week.
She said the number of defilement cases has increased this week as compared to last week’s 18 cases of defilement.

The answer might be women’s Day. May be some men took advantage of the night happenings and were a little bit more generous. Not so sure as well Ms. Mbangweta.
