Dr Shamin Namwase on Eye Surgical Camp in Kwania: I am happy that we were able to conduct over 100 surgeries, this is a huge number for one surgeon in one week, the advantage of us coming to the community is that many people from the rural areas can not even afford to go to Lira Regional Referral Hospital, others had even given up, but we brought the speciality home here to them".
Shs 100 million “gift” to each MP, for doing nothing, while frontline health workers face cuts and hardship.
This is not just wrong, it’s immoral. It stinks of a broken system.
Requiring medical residents (interns and SHOs) to work without any allowance in the 21st century amounts to modern-day slavery.
We reject it in the strongest terms possible!
@HeartUganda successfully concluded the closed-heart surgery camp at @Lira_RRH.
Over the course of the camp, the @HeartUganda team performed ten life-saving surgeries for children from Lira and surrounding areas, bringing renewed health, hope, and smiles to families across the Lango Sub-Region.
Special thanks to @GovUganda, through the @MinofHealthUg, for the continued support in sustaining the decentralisation of heart care services, now a routine at Regional Referral Hospitals across Uganda.

Minister of Health Dr. Ruth Aceng has defended the Government’s policy to have medical students undergo training for six years, saying the move is intended to safeguard the health of Ugandans.
She noted that some medical students had failed internship four times even after graduating from medical school. The new policy will therefore ensure that only those who pass internship graduate.
Dr. Aceng made the remarks while appearing before Parliament’s Health Committee during the consideration of the 2026/27 Ministerial Policy Statement. She was responding to a letter from the Federation of Uganda Medical Interns (FUMI).
