“It should be noted that in 1995 the Hon.@CHRISBARYOMUNS1 led a strike for medical interns that lead to increase of the pay of medical interns from 90,000 UgX to 180,000 UgX.” Dr.Asiimwe R Frank.

Now he is the minister of health and defending the position of government not to pay medical interns

[Samwise Gamgee @Sambannz]

At some point, Ministry of health's permanent secretary, Dr.Atwine told medical interns that they can be deployed at their own cost.
A doctor, telling future doctors to meet their internship costs!!?
#PayMedicalInterns
As if telling interns to pay patients for treating them.

[Joel Roy Mucunguzi @M_____i_JR]

First they came for the protesters, & I was silent…

Then they came for the NGOs, & I was silent…

Then they came for the Medical Interns, & I was silent…

And then they came for me… and there was no one to speak out for me.

"A shortage of resources is a planning problem, not an interns’ problem."

​Louder for the people in the back! You can't celebrate expanding medical education and then punish the graduates for succeeding

Hon. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 says the government can no longer sustain medical interns’ allowances because the number of graduates has increased, but that logic misses the point.

An increase in medical graduates should be celebrated as an investment in Uganda’s healthcare future, not treated as a financial burden. Medical interns are not volunteers; they are qualified health professionals who provide essential services in hospitals while undergoing supervised training.

If the country has produced more doctors and other health workers, the solution is to strengthen funding for internship programs and absorb more professionals into the health system, not to remove the modest support that enables them to serve. Punishing interns for the success of expanding medical education is poor planning.

The real concern should be why government has failed to adequately budget for a growing healthcare workforce, not why there are more young professionals ready to serve Ugandans. A shortage of resources is a planning problem, not an interns’ problem.

Gov't can't find Ugx 24,000,000,000 to pay medical interns.

Medical interns contribute 80% workforce of Uganda's health sector.

Meanwhile, Parliament,Speaker, Deputy Speaker & LoP have a combined budget of Ugx 23,670,000,000 just for "Donations"

NO MEDICAL INTERN WILL WORK FOR FREE ❗.
Dear @rggoobi, @DianaAtwine, @KagutaMuseveni, and @CHRISBARYOMUNS1, please note that the medical interns have rejected this move, and the general public will bear the cost if it is not reversed.

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

Meanwhile, Parliament wants to expand Cabinet ministers from 21 to 30 and State Ministers from 31 to 51, a move that will cost taxpayers billions, with no clear ROI.

There is money for political comfort, but no money for doctors in apprenticeship?

Who bewitched our country?

Sell the house in Kigo and give allowance to medical interns!

[Agather Atuhaire @AAgather]

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!

Day-2 of publishing irregularly recruited staff by the 11th Parliament.
Irregularly recruited, because the law requires for any recruitment to happen, there must have been an advert in the newspapers or in the gazette.
@Parliament_Ug last ran any job advertisement in 2016.
