Unity Wins: A New Dawn for Our Interns
Comrades, there was a time when young doctors had to take to the streets simply to demand internship postings and fight for salaries already guaranteed under our CBA. The struggles of 2024 tested our resolve, but they also proved the power of unity and collective action.
Today, we are proud to say that those sacrifices have borne fruit.
As confirmed by the Ministry of Health, the 2026/2027 cohort of medical interns will commence internship on 1st July 2026, with a seamless transition into service and timely payment of their salaries. Pre-interns have also been invited to collect their offer letters during the official flag-off ceremony on Monday, 29th June.
This is more than an administrative milestone, it is the result of relentless advocacy, collective bargaining, and the unwavering solidarity of doctors who refused to accept injustice as the norm. Together, we have helped dismantle the culture of delayed postings and uncertainty that once defined the internship process.
This victory belongs to every doctor who marched, every leader who negotiated, and every member who stood firm in defending the rights and dignity of our profession.
To the incoming 2026/2027 interns, congratulations and welcome to service. May you begin your journey knowing that your predecessors stood together to make this path smoother for you.
When we stand united, we don't just solve today's problems, we build a better future for generations to come.
In Solidarity,
Dr. Davji Bhimji Atellah
Secretary-General,
