The public sees medical interns as young medics serving patients; government sees them as free labour to be deployed, mercilessly used and thereafter dumped in a jobless market.
#PayAllMedicalInterns
As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.
As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.
As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.
As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.
As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.
This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.
While this seems acted, it is true that it is dangerous to put our lives in the hands of unpaid and demotivated medical interns. This is not just about them, it is a national health risk. There is a lot of money wasted on luxury, useless things and useless people. We canโt say weโve failed to find money for overworked needy young people entrusted with citizensโ lives. A country that demotivates its health workers is a country that doesnโt value lives of its citizens.

๐จRice โMikel is gutted but he spoke about how much he loves us. I think we have come so far as a club. When I came to this club it was a QF exit then a Semi Final exit and now a final exit. One more step and we go again.
One thing about us, this wont define us.
We will be backโ
