@Dr_Chris_Twine My wife just delivered a baby girl under C-Section from Mukono General Hospital private wing. But I had over 4 interns monitoring her for 5 days. It was very encouraging since the doctors just operated and were no where to be seen after that. The interns were changing the drips and monitoring the vitals and all that. They did a tremendous job.
So, for the sake of sanity, I have been through these deliveries mostly in government hospitals, and they can’t, I repeat, they can’t function without medical interns. My late mother used to run Ndejje Health Center IV for more than 14 years as the head, but we had interns from different medical schools and fraternities all over the place throughout the year for all those 14 years- and doctors were the minority in a workforce of over 40.
So, the government coming out, and saying they aren’t going to pay them, is in itself, an added gear toward corruption, bribery, a more lux nature within an essential field, and unfortunately last stroke to an already overwhelmed system. Whoever came up with this lame idea, wasn’t advising for the better, and doesn’t have our beloved country at heart.
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.
our MPs during their induction were only concerned about the speed of approving their medical trips abroad, or whether they are allowed to travel with their spouses, etc..meanwhile the rest of the population that depends on medical interns isn’t their problem!
There are moments when life tests a person's strength beyond what most of us can imagine.
My friend, @rwamu_ had just completed his law degree when he suffered a stroke. Many feared the worst. Some thought his dreams had come to an end. But through pain, uncertainty, and years of recovery, he has remained remarkably strong, determined, and hopeful.
Today, there is a smile on his face again. There is progress. There is hope.
When the call came , all of us that knew this fine legal brain, kindred spirit set in.
I want to sincerely thank the friends let by @SilverKayondo , classmates, and well-wishers who have stood by him. Because of your generosity, land for a wheelchair-accessible home wss purchased in Manyangwa, Gayaza, and the title successfully transferred.
Now comes the next step: building the home.
For Mwene, this is more than a house. It is dignity. It is accessibility. It is independence. It is a place from which he can continue his recovery journey in safety and comfort.
I am therefore appealing to all friends, colleagues, members of the legal fraternity, and every person of goodwill to contribute whatever they can. No contribution is too small. Together, we can help a young man who has fought so courageously rebuild his life. @Atukundaisaac1

Mwene's story is a reminder that while a stroke may change a life, it does not have to destroy a dream.
I’ve been introducing the art of public speaking to children in primary school. Ages 7 to 13.
Watching them not just discover, but _evolve_, into changemakers - into people who realize the power is entirely in their hands - is an honor.
Ghana’s Parliament criminalised LGBT+ people on Friday. No major government has spoken. No international institution has responded. The UK is about to host Ghana’s President at a London investment summit.
Silence is not neutrality. It is a decision.
