Government has confirmed the scrapping of medical internship allowances, with officials defending the move as a reform measure while critics warn it could impact young doctors.

Doctors pursuing postgraduate studies (Senior House Officers/Fellows/Residents) stand in solidarity with the entire medical fraternity @TheUMAofficial to oppose the new policy that undermines the role and status of intern doctors

I love how Ugandans have united and raised their voices against this disastrous medical internship policy.
It’s clear they truly care about health except for the health planners in offices who keep pushing policies that harm doctors, patients, and the entire system.

My respected Hon @CHRISBARYOMUNS1, I guess it is within your reach to guide both MOE and MOH, and GOU not to gamble with Medical training in Uganda.
Six years for Undergraduate training can't be the answer to the poor quality training outcomes of our doctors, and the huge university output beyond the government's capacity to absorb them into service. It is poor planning and fractured systems.
A child on the operating table for a hernia repair at Lira Regional Referral Hospital. The doctor operating was an intern.
I wonder if the public truly understands who intern doctors are.
They are called "interns," but they spend their days in theatres, maternity wards, emergency units, and medical wards carrying responsibilities that directly affect people's lives.
When your child needs surgery, your mother needs emergency care, or your father is admitted in the middle of the night, you don't ask whether the doctor attending to them is an intern. You simply hope there is a doctor there.
And very often, there is an intern there.
