Dr. Chris Baryomusi said that the government is going to provide lunch to medical interns.

Well, it's good that they now recognize that interns deserve something. However, medical interns need more than lunch.

They need:
1. Breakfast
2. Lunch (which is being provided)
3. Dinner
4. Transport
5. Airtime
6. Clothes
7. Rent
8. General upkeep, among other necessities.

They are not slaves. They need money to survive, support their families, send some to their girlfriends, and occasionally unwind and forget the stress of hospital work with a bottle of whiskey.

Give them money. #PayAllMedicalInterns

Government can, and should find money to pay medical interns!

And every health worker whose name is not written here, but whose sacrifice Uganda must never forget.

This Heroes Day, we bow in honour of those who gave their lives in the line of duty, shielding our people from Ebola, Covid 19, and other deadly diseases.

Because they stood in danger, many still live. Families survived. Communities endured. Uganda still stands.

To the fallen, we remember you with gratitude.
To those still serving, healing, risking, and answering duty’s call, we offer our deepest salute.

May this day remind us that health service is sacred work, often carried by ordinary people who choose extraordinary courage.

Uganda lives because some gave everything, and others still do.

🔥Meet @ivaan256 who scooped the Distinguished Research Award @Makerere_Medics with 31 publications before his MBChB grad!
🔥How do you expect him to work for free in his internship?
NB: @Makerere requires 8 publications for professorship.

As expected, the man @SLutoti has served his long paragraphs.

But to summarize, PSU is against this new policy.

Tomorrow at 7:30 AM on @nbstv, @RubabindaJr will be shedding light on the controversial internship policy.

Only miss it if you must.

[Tumwine Jimmy @Jimmyalmax]

@ntvuganda This is a matter of priorities, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that the welfare of the medical interns and patients is not a government priority.

With the already strained doctor patient ratio of the country, how can anyone support this policy

It’s deeply alarming !

[FRNK Asiimwe @RubabindaJr]

🔥🔥 There are so many moving parts in Uganda! It is hard to focus and get anything done properly.
🔥 This may actually be orchestrated on purpose.

🔥 Can we focus on the issue of medical interns and give it the rigor it deserves?

@OfficialFUMSA

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

As U.M.A, we reaffirm our position that:

👉 A medical intern is not a student, but a doctor in apprenticeship.
👉 A medical intern deserves not only to serve, but also to live and work with dignity.
👉 A medical intern is not a slave.
