After careful thought, our leaders concluded that the highest reward for medical interns should be unpaid labour. ‘Well thought’, indeed.

Uganda to phase out medical intern allowances—fair move or unfair burden?

Yours is too crowded

[Dr. Kayondo Derick. @DerickKayondo]

On this day we wake up to demand for the obvious;
1. Revoke the new National Education and Training for Health Policy
2. Internship is not part of undergraduate training
3. #PayAllMedicalInterns
4. #internsnotSlaves

@newvisionwire @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 First let him push to have it revoked. Then he can call in the relevant stakeholders and have it revised

[Democratic Front (DF) @democraticfr]

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[Dr. Christon A.K Rweshakyira @Dr_Chris_Twine]

As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.

As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.

As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.

As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.

As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.

This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.

@GiftGrace01 What happened to leaders who are humble enough to consult the right people. But also visionary enough to understand implications of every decision made

[ACHILLA @GiftGrace01]

The Ugandan government keeps shocking us everyday.

#PayMedicalInterns

[Dr. Kayondo Derick. @DerickKayondo]

@CanaryMugume This is just a move by government to establish control over these vulnerable entry level doctors while avoiding its financial obligation to pay them for the service offered

[UPSA Uganda @UpsaUganda]

Colleagues,
We shall bang tables. The message is clear “we will not report for internship under a vague, unfair, and imposed policy — amend it or forget our presence. #suspendthispolicy @OfficialFUMSA @TheUMAofficial @PharmacistsUg @ug_lawsociety
