@SamsonKasumba @geraldpsalms We shall not dwell on Exodus 20:4,5 anymore - follow your heart, in Hebrews 13:8, even Jesus is different yesterday, today and tomorrow.

@RedPepperUG It is really sad that we had such a unanticipated premature loss of life. But it's also good to understand that every time you enter a hospital for any care; whether sick or not, irrespective of the level of expertise in it, there is a random chance you may exit the place dead!

@ntvuganda Olara Otunu was brilliant. It looked natural to him. I think Uganda has missed such a big brain.

@AKasingye @OOtunnu_ I have listened to him during his interaction at the UN. He is so brilliant. All the best to him.

@JoelSsenyonyi No intern will report with a shambolic policy. @Payallmedicalinterns and pay 4m, pay monthly, give a clear written policy. Our simple demands

It is well known in ancient times that if you cannot motivate your work force then buy slaves. If this is not the option, then motivate your work force. It is also called humanity. Give good remuneration, pay for overtimes, pay call allowances and recognise and reward efforts.

[Dr. Kayondo Derick. @DerickKayondo]

As SHOs we still say NO to the Shambolic NETH policy

Interns aren’t students, but licenced doctors practicing under supervision.

Interns, SHOs & Fellows do Full time service and therefore should be paid

We support the refusal of Interns to report.
@TheUMAofficial guides all

@newvisionwire Very soon we shall have patients for doctors who were government sponsored and privately sponsored.

@RubabindaJr Slave trade is returning in Medicine. Sorry Doctors

[Prof. V Baryamureeba @baryamureeba]

Mr. President @KagutaMuseveni even with all government doctors working 24/7, we still have a huge shortage of doctors in government health facilities. You should request for a report on the status of doctors in all government health facilities across thw country. Interns come in to supplement. A medical intern spends 5 years in a medical school to get a Bachelor's degree ( MBCHB). In comparison with a three year bachelor's degree programme that would be an equivalent of Bachelor's and master's degree. Check how much a scientist with a three Bachelor's degree is paid in government.

Paying a medical intern with MBCHB ugx 2.5M is small change. One would call it under employment. Interns are not students, they hold MBCHB.

Simcerely the people around you are telling you lies. For the good of the country, let us pay all medical interns. If need be let us reduce on the money for government student loans and pay medical interns. It's just one year. But we have a lot of money to pay A-level holders over ugx 60M per month on top of ugx 300M for a car and other benefits. So how can we fail to pay medical interns. We should have our priorities right.

These medical interns are our future doctors. Nobody knows whom we shall meet in the hospital a few years from now. The interns we neglect today may be the same future Doctors to save our lives tomorrow.

So we stand with medical interns. At times it takes sacrifice to achieve a long term solution. So I advise interns for remain united and fight together for the welfare of all.

No retreat no surrender. You have the support of Ugandans from all walks of life. Yours is a just cause. Fight till the end.

[Joseph Ario, MD @JosephArio]

@RubabindaJr Going forward to regulate these admissions. Admissions to medical schools should be regulated by the national council. By restricting the number admitted per year, it will also regulate intake by universities and therefore the impact on the outputs

[Joseph Ario, MD @JosephArio]

@nbstv @OmagorJoseph Sounds like a protectorate that we learnt about in history
