Renee Bach is a missionary from the United States (USA), leader of the Eastern Uganda non-governmental organization, Serving His Children (SHC), which was closed in 2015 by the District Health Officer and was ordered not to offer treatments to any other child.
The demand to Bach is for performing procedures and providing medical treatments without qualifications or any license in medicine. The petition is for the High Court of Jinja, Uganda, to close the doors of SHC.
According to the statements of both mothers, their children died in suspicious conditions and in both cases an envelope with money has been given to the mothers for the funeral expenses.
The attorney for the Probono Women's Initiative, Beatrice Kayaga, is the one who is legally assisting the mothers, as well as ensuring that Bach, without any medical qualification, has been attending to children of unsuspecting parents.
For its part, the director of SHC in the US, Lauri Bach says that Renee Bach never presented herself as a doctor or applied medical treatments.
"At no time did our founder, Renee Bach, present herself as a medical professional, experience or cause the death of any child," said Lauri Bach.
"Ms. Bach in the past provided assistance in such procedures when she requested and currently serves in an administrative capacity and participates in the fundraising for the organization," said the director.
On the other hand, the group No White Saviors is campaigning on social networks to raise awareness about this type of cases.
