@TheUMAofficial@PharmacistsUg@agnmu_Ug@FUMI20232024@OfficialFUMSA and now FEFERATION of UGANDA MEDICAL PRE-INTERN [FUMPI] reject and push back all the draconian shenanigans being metted on unsuspecting citizens that consume Healthcare in Uganda.
Dr. Wilberforce Kabweru: Let the government look for money and pay interns. In Kenya an intern earns more than a consultant here.

Dr. Timothy Batuwa: Appreciate the work of interns. You don't have sufficient staffing levels but you are still dragging your feet on whether interns should be paid an allowance or not.

As the Federation of Uganda Medical Pre-Interns (FUMPI), we stand united for one purpose;
To reject and push back against this draconian and shambolic internship policy.
We are ready and willing to serve our country, but we demand the following without compromise:
1. All current pre-interns are fully deployed.
2. All interns are paid their dues of 4 million UGX (75% of an medical officer’s salary).
3. All dues are paid on time, every month.
Nothing else. Nothing less.We have completed our training and signed contracts.
We are not students — we are qualified doctors providing essential services to Ugandans. Timely deployment and fair remuneration are our right.
We call upon the Minister of Health, the Permanent Secretary, and all relevant authorities to urgently address and resolve this matter in the interest of the health sector and the nation.Unity. Voice. Action.Our future. Our right.
Respect our work. Reward our service. Secure our future.

Today, I chaired the first Cabinet meeting of the new administration following the successful Cabinet Induction Retreat at Kyankwanzi. I urged the ministers to remain focused on disciplined implementation, accountability and efficient service delivery as we work to fulfil the NRM’s commitment of securing Uganda’s socio-economic transformation over the next five years.
No retreat no surrender, not until we our roles as interns in hospitals is recognized, no resting.
Things are just three
1. #Allcurrentpreinterns should be deployed
2. #Interns should be paid 75% of there seniors' salary
3. #payallmedicalinterns and on time
No settling for less

Most patients do not need the antidote. In fact, giving it to the wrong patient can trigger life threatening seizures.
Here’s a practical approach every junior doctor should know.
