Finally, Govt’ has acknowledged that all medical interns require facilitation, and is now going to reinstate the 1m allowance per month to each medical intern.

However, going forward, there ought to be a discussion on increasing the 1m, given the rising cost of living and inflation over the years.

Information coming in from sources indicates that Cabinet is considering a proposal to have medical interns paid.

If confirmed, this would be a major development in the ongoing internship standoff. Trust, but verify.

[Mugenyi Henry @MugenyiHenry_]

Medical interns, handcuffed and under police escort, are being led into Buganda Road Court for a bail hearing this morning.

The eight were remanded to Luzira Prison last Friday following their arrest amid the ongoing standoff over internship deployment and welfare.

Let it be on record that these young Doctors are in the dock for asking for the government to pay them for the work they will be doing for 12 months so they can afford food and accommodation while doing 24/7 shifts.

Meanwhile the government wants them to work for free.

@MugenyiHenry_ Lets host President UMA speak next

[Dr Wilberforce M. Kabweru @m_kabweru43739]

Dr Kabweru U.M.A V.P, narrating the need to pay interns so that they can afford basic accomodation, food and teansport, etc. Therefore, let us lobby for the welfare of interns in Uganda.

The reason Dr. Chris Baryomunsi, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng and other senior doctors fighting medical interns yet Hon. Joel Ssenyoni a non medic is fighting for medical interns is simple.

I have spent most of my adult life around doctors but they're the worst people who front "EGO" in every discussion.

That's why you hear most doctors get furious when a patient questions them. The whole medical life, the ties, the books and titles shapes doctors to approach most situations with ego even sometimes at the expense of lives and it takes a lot of practice for a doctor to redeem his soul and see things with clarity.

Trust me, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows what he is doing is wrong, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng did know she was wrong but to them this is a fight between intern doctors and their ego. These two doctors when they were interns did strike for the very issues interns are fighting for, so they know what they're doing but I can confidently tell you that they won't publicly say that they're wrong.

All senior doctors were paid during medical internship. I was paid, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi was paid, Dr. Omona was paid, Dr. Kiza Besigye was paid... Everyone you see Dr. And did internship in Uganda was paid for a reason and it is the same reason all countries do pay.

I don't blame the rest of Ugandans to fail to see this but fellow doctors well know all countries pay medical interns. All of them.

Kenya pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Tanzania pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Rwanda pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Ghana pays medical interns/house officers, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

South Africa pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Botswana pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Namibia pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Zambia pays medical interns, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Zimbabwe pays medical interns/ junior doctors, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

The UK pays foundation doctors, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Ireland pays intern doctors, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Australia pays intern doctors, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

New Zealand pays first-year doctors/house officers, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

The United States pays resident physicians, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

Canada pays resident physicians, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi knows it.

This list goes on....

I'm sure, the ego of doctors still will affect and blind the decision in this yet it's going to affect the whole medical training.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨:

The Uganda Medical Association (UMA) has announced industrial action over the ongoing welfare and deployment crisis affecting medical interns and the wider medical profession.

Doctors have given government 14 days to provide clear, written and satisfactory commitments on the deployment and facilitation of medical interns.

If government fails to act, doctors across Uganda will commence industrial action.

[Prof. V Baryamureeba @baryamureeba]

Medical interns are not students. They are graduates of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBCHB). Internship is one year period that prepares them to become registered as professional doctors. During internship they do the actual work doctors do but under supervision. They must be paid. We should not support discrimination. It's time for medical interns to stand together till the end. Some matters require discussion and negotiation and not intimididation or threats. Let interns be heard. Let @Uma_Oficial be given an audience with the President of Uganda just like he has met teachers and university lecturers in the past. This matter is so important not to be swept under the carpet.

[Dr Wilberforce M. Kabweru @m_kabweru43739]

Dr Kabweru W.M, U.M.A Vice President, categorically stated that internship should be treated conventionally as an Apprenticeship, interns are not students, as they already have their academic qualifications, with a temporary licensure, contracted to offer health service delivery
