Hey everyone, I hope you're okay.
I need your help once again. Been in & out of hospital for some months now, after a number of tests, it's been found that I need a 4th Endometriosis surgery if I am to save my kidneys, bladder, uterers etc.

The target is $10k/UGX 40 million

Uganda’s young doctors have been humiliated 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵!

Medical interns provide essential services to Ugandans, yet in an attempt to evade the moral responsibility of paying them, they are now being conveniently labelled “students.”

@MinofHealthUG, take note of the position of Uganda’s doctors:

𝟭. 𝗨.𝗠.𝗔 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 until clear, formal communication is issued regarding their allowances and welfare.

𝟮. 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱. We reject any attempt to pay only those who were formerly government-sponsored while abandoning their formerly privately-sponsored colleagues. They hold the same qualifications, perform the same duties and serve the same Ugandan patients.

𝟯. If these concerns remain unresolved, 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 their 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝟭𝟰 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟲 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

𝟰. 𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 or 𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 for declining to report for "slavery" will trigger immediate industrial action by doctors across Uganda.

To the Ugandan public, please understand this:

𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. They are qualified doctors, nurses and pharmacists undergoing supervised professional apprenticeship while providing healthcare services.

If Government chooses not to resolve this matter fairly, ethically and urgently, disruption of public health services may become unavoidable. We urge @GovUganda to act now, before patients are made to bear the consequences of a preventable crisis.

Service with Honour.

Dear Honourables @BalaamBarugahar
@JustineNameere

RE: CONDUCT OF MINISTERIAL INSPECTIONS AT PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES

The Uganda Medical Association (U.M.A.) acknowledges your Ministry’s commitment to rooting out corruption, absenteeism, and service delivery failures in local government. We share your goal of accountability.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, we are deeply concerned about the 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 employed during recent inspections of health facilities; specifically, the presence of television cameras in clinical areas, the public interrogation of health workers, and arrests ordered before allegations have been properly investigated.

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀. Filming patients in wards, maternity units, and consultation rooms without informed consent violates the Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Charter, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, and Article 27 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. 𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺. Finding a health worker away from their station proves nothing without first verifying the duty roster, leave records, night-duty history, and on-call arrangements. Compensatory rest after night duty, annual leave, and sick leave are lawful entitlements under the Employment Act and Article 40 of the Constitution. Accusations of absenteeism must follow verification, not precede it.

𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. Uganda’s public facilities are staffed at roughly a third of established need—34% against Ministry of Health norms, with diagnostic services at 47.7% and medicine availability at 58.9%. Where a worker refers a patient due to a stock-out or missing test, that is a systemic failure, not corruption. The two must be distinguished.

𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. Articles 28 and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the presumption of innocence and a fair hearing. Arrests and public humiliation cannot substitute for proper investigation through established @PoliceUg, public-service, and professional-regulatory channels.

U.M.A therefore recommends that;

- 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀!!!

- @GovUganda fixes the system and funds recruitment and supplies.

- Humiliation Health Workers stops immediately.

- @MoLGUganda either leaves health facility inspections to @MinofHealthUG and it's organs or requests their active involvement.

𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Every time I return to Kampala I get some respiratory problem! The air quality in this city is crazy and you only realize it when you leave 😭

This child, Victor Katungi, has been missing from St. Savio Junior School Kisubi since Thursday April 23. It is said that the science teacher after scolding Victor sent him back to the Dormitory at around 8pm to collect his science script and that was the last time he was seen. His family is in anguish and appeal to anyone who could have seen him to please notify the police or his father Patrick Katungi on 0787860801 🙏🙏

Almost every time you scroll, there is a story of a child who has been defiled 💔😭🤬…. Four men did this to a 5 y/o….💔😭

Ba @HHichilema & @MrsHichilema , parents of the nation, we appeal to you, please, declare war against the defilement of children. Enough is Enough !

[Feeyi @ImaniMulungi]

Everyone doing what they can would rather be somewhere sipping on some mimosas (mujjaja tea for some of us) and living their best lives, but you see oppression isn't selective.

Uganda can happen to anyone.
Yes even apologists.

It’s only 6 days into January but the way this year is going, the person with fireworks needs to be on standby!

[Thomas @Owishemwe]

It’s sad that this kind of treatment is very normal with Uganda Police, if it wasn’t an old woman no one would have even cared because it’s normal for police officers to handle people like that. We see it every day on thenews during arrests

[Kanyeheyo™ @ptwino]

Good morning, my good people

You have no idea how lucky you are if you don’t struggle with weight gain/loss, don’t need skincare, don’t struggle with allergies & girls that don’t get cramps.
