Idadi ya wagonywa wanao pelekwa hospitalini kwa ajili ya Pombe yaongezeka kwa 10%
The number of patients admitted to hospital as a result of alcohol abuse has risen by more than 10 per cent in a year.
Nearly 1.2million were brought in last year with conditions including liver disease, alcohol poisoning or for injuries sustained when drunk.
And this number does not include patients who were treated in A&E and then sent home. It only accounts for the more severely ill who needed to be transferred to other wards.
Figures from the NHS Information Centre show that the numbers of these admissions have more than doubled since 2002 when they were first recorded.
There were 1,168,300 last year, a rise of almost 11 per cent compared to 1,056,900 in 2009/10. In 2002/3 there were just 510,800 such admissions.
