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

#KeepingTheGovtInCheck

[Dr Colline Gwebayanga 💊🩺 @GwebayangaC]

Dear @JoelSsenyonyi thanks for bringing out the issue of medical interns.

Medical interns contribute an estimated 60–70% of the day-to-day clinical workload in many health facilities across Uganda.
Through the healthcare services they help deliver, they support an economic value chain worth well over UGX 1.5 trillion annually, contributing significantly to the productivity, well-being, and survival of the nation’s workforce and communities.

Investing in medical internship is therefore not an expenditure; it is an investment in Uganda’s health system, human capital, and economic development.

A country cannot demand professional service, professional responsibility, and professional accountability from its interns while failing to accord them the recognition, support, and facilitation necessary to perform those duties effectively.

Medical interns are not a burden on the health system; they are one of its most indispensable pillars.

USA made Omar Artan beg for a visa for weeks, finally handed it over for a PR stunt and then let border control throw him out like a criminal the second he landed.

If your customs can’t handle international sports officials you shouldn't be allowed to host the World Cup.

@FIFAWorldCup needs to show some back bone!

INTRERN DOCTORS' PAY CRISIS AND ITS IMPACT ON PATIENT CARE, GENERALLY;
While the standoff between Young doctors and government lingers, there are questions that need to be asked:
I know there are many arguments about many things, like integrating that Intern-year into the Medical Degree programme; like saying they are still students under supervision... etc...these i understand.

But my questions go beyond these TECHNICAL RATIONALIZATIONS. They go to the EMPIRICAL MEDICAL SITUATION(something analysed, measurable/QUANTIFIABLE.
Who are these Medical Interns and how do they SUPPORT MEDICAL CARE in our Underdeveloped Countries?
What is patient- Doctors ratio...and what needs to be done.....etc.....

INTERN DOCTORS perform estimated 70-80% of frontline medical work in Uganda's public health facilities. These young doctors are not housed or fed, etc.
FINDINGS:
These unending strikes and fights cause
-LOW MORALE of these medical workers.
-It lowers the ETHICAL STANDARDS of Medical Care in hospitals.
-Shows reduction in QUALITY OF SERVICES due Dr Burnouts, etc. -Studies carried out(can Google it) show for instance, that this lack of MOTIVATION, etc, result in INCREASED MORTALITY for Children under 5 years and other most vulnerable groups.
-That hospital backlogs for serious medical cases increase by 55%!

So, as we watch, the bigger question is: WHAT IS THIS LACK OF PAY TO INTERNS HAVING ON THE POOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE HEALTH FACILITIES OR CAN'T GO ABROAD?

[David Sejusa, DM. @sejudav]

We need to applaud our leaders when they get it right. So Thank you Your Grace! Btw, WHY CAN'T GOVERNMENT PAY ITS INTERN DOCTORS? I have been trying to understand it clearly: Why can't Government find money to pay a few thousand intern doctors? WHAT IS THE LOGIC? Because it is not the money as the Archbishop correctly points out. If you have Shs 200bn to spend on cars for People, many, who even FAILED THE ARTS you are refusing to pay for now, how can you FAIL TO FIND just Shs 28bn for 2000 INTERN DOCTORS?

WHAT IS THE LOGIC? Refusing to pay ARTS TEACHERS and you Pay SCIENCE TEACHERS MORE, produce the SCIENTISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY, then refuse to pay THESE SCIENTISTS, BUT INSTEAD PAY THE ARTISTS, even HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS(MPs) with Shs200bn FREE CARS? BTW, WHY DO WE GIVE FREE CARS TO MPs WHO EARN SHS 50 MILLION PER MONTH? WE WHO STRUGGLED WITH BLOOD AND SWEAT, AND THOUSANDS DIED TO BRING ABOUT THAT PARLIAMENT; THEY DON'T BUY CARS FOR US; AND WE DON'T DEMAND! We buy our own Cars. And those who can't, THEY USE TAXIS! So what is it with these POLITICAL FREELOADERS?

Here is my take: Either the People in charge are SUBVERSIVE; ie, silent enemies of the State, or they are extremely ignorant and incompetent! So, which is which? The GOVERNMENT has placed SCIENCE STUDY at the centre of the EDUCATION SYSTEM. I hear the President drumming it up daily. They even increased Salaries of Science teachers tenfold, and abandoned Arts teachers, etc. And in this endeavour, many young people are taking Science subjects: Medicine; Engineering; Food Science; AI, Environmental Science, etc.

Take THESE INTERNS/Doctors. The biggest field, perhaps second to ARITIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE(AI) today is BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY. There is so much going on in these areas which deal with the application of BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND ORGANISMS to make and use things like VACCINES, GENE THERAPY,etc, which are central in the quest for DISEASE ERADICATION. The Bridging of the gap between LABORATORY RESEARCH and PATIENT CARE is now the bedrock of GLOBAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS. So why would government not support people who are key in such fields; i ask again, WHAT IS THE LOGIC?

Dear Jajja @KagutaMuseveni, am not here to blame but to let u know that this directive was not implemented by former responsible officers.
In the new policy, they have changed your 2.5M to 0.00shs.
As prospective interns, we are worried!

🔥 Now that Okello has been sentenced ( I think he is mentally ill) and the Sovereignty Bill is being messaged (the spirit and intent are still the same)!

🔥 Can we please take some time and focus on the plight of medical interns in Uganda? Can we first fix what is broken?
