Guess who the Minister actually found on duty during that impromptu visit?
The interns!
The same ones the MOH is planning to stop paying completely.
Let that sink in. They are the ones showing up for patients every day, yet they still want to treat the mm like they don’t matter. This just doesn’t make sense.
Pay all interns now, they deserve better!
IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY ?
There are many confusing ideas and religions around the world trying to explain the afterlife state of people who have passed away. However, Jesus made it clear that there are only two pathways possible:For believers in Him as their only Savior: Heaven.
For all unbelievers: Hell.Jesus made this clear in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. He showed that the afterlife for both was real. They were alive in spirit, in full consciousness, with all the sensory prerogatives they enjoyed as persons while they were in our realm. They could talk, think, ask for things, feel, regret, see, and think. One was in Heaven, and the other in Hell. There are only two pathways possible—nothing else.Jesus said He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). He is the righteousness of God on whom we can rely to escape the way to Hell. If you were to die today, where would you be in eternity? Don’t let anyone fool you. Jesus makes it clear that there are only two destinations possible. Choose Jesus and settle on Heaven. 🙏

Luke 16:19-31 AMP
[19] “Now there was a certain rich man who was habitually dressed in expensive purple and fine linen, and celebrated and lived joyously in splendor every day. [20] And a poor man named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, covered with sores. [21] He [eagerly] longed to eat the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. [22] Now it happened that the poor man died and his spirit was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom (paradise); and the rich man also died and was buried. [23] In Hades (the realm of the dead), being in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom (paradise). [24] And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in severe agony in this flame.’ [25] But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things [all the comforts and delights], and Lazarus likewise bad things [all the discomforts and distresses]; but now he is comforted here [in paradise], while you are in severe agony. [26] And besides all this, between us and you [people] a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to come over from here to you will not be able, and none may cross over from there to us.’ [27] So the rich man said, ‘Then, father [Abraham], I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house— [28] for I have five brothers—in order that he may solemnly warn them and witness to them, so that they too will not come to this place of torment.’ [29] But Abraham said, ‘They have [the Scriptures given by] Moses and the [writings of the] Prophets; let them listen to them.’ [30] He replied, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent [they will change their old way of thinking and seek God and His righteousness].’ [31] And he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to [the messages of] Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

People have HIV and are willing to give it to your freely.
Yes you can survive 50,60,70 yrs with it, but the stigma is still high. Alot changes in your life once you get it.
Try to avoid getting it if you don’t have it yet.
This will hurt, I've got to say it:
"Honour your father and mother." The Bible said HONOUR. Not haemorrhage. Not humiliate yourself into debt. Not fund your parent's soft life while you're eating posho and pretending you're okay. Honour. Not sacrifice.
😂😂 Guys, am here cracking up at this MOH comedy show! The contradictions are serving premium drama, and I’m just seated with my popcorn watching them tie themselves in knots. Let me break it down for you, because wow what is this?! 🤣
Do, the new “draconian” National Education and Training for Health Policy 2025 (launched around April 2026) claims that all interns, trainees, and fellows who support service delivery will be paid. Cool, right?
Then the very same policy says the government will only facilitate government sponsored medical interns while privately sponsored students get nothing and should “look to their parents” for support. 🌝
Wait, so only the government sponsored medical interns are magically the sole supporters of service delivery? The private ones are just invisible ghosts in the wards? Make it make sense! Hospitals are already understaffed, and interns (from all backgrounds) are doing lots of the heavy lifting yet MOH wants to pretend only one group counts. Very funny. 🤦♀️
This gets even funnier, The MOH Health Professionals documents (like schemes of service and internship guidelines) have long treated interns as qualified health professionals alongside doctors, pharmacists, etc. They’re registered provisionally, deployed to facilities, assigned real clinical duties, supervised as professionals, and expected to deliver care. But suddenly in this new policy, they’re demoted to “students” whose internship is just an extension of classroom training? 🤣🤣
You can’t have it both ways: If they’re students, stop posting them as essential workforce filling service gaps. If they’re professionals supporting delivery as the policy itself admits for some. So plz pay them fairly like the contributors they are. This flip flopping makes you sound disorganized. 📌🌝
Now, here enters the new Health Minister adding his own spice to the chaos. He says government sponsored interns get full suppory, while privately sponsored ones might get only lunch. This is something that isn’t even in the original policy! Hey, hear me out, these are doctors doing 24 hour calls, not school kids on a field trip. Where’s that in the official document? Only shows more improvisation but zero consistency.
This whole mess screams discrimination, and it directly clashes with the Uganda Constitution. Treating graduates differently based on whether they were government or privately sponsored (ieconomic/social standing of their training path) looks like exactly what the Constitution forbids. All qualified doctors should be treated equally in a mandatory professional licensing phase that serves the public good.
Go back to the drawing, involve all stake holders and comeback to us with a uniform and sensible presentation.
Most importantly, #PayAllMedicalInterns #SaveLives
For God and my country 🙏
There is a girl who loved climbing trees.
Her mother warned her: do not climb. People will see your panties. The girl heard her mother. She respected her mother. But the trees were calling.
So on one faithful day, she removed her panties. And climbed. Her mother looked up in horror.
The girl looked down with confidence.
"Maama, I removed the panties. Nobody will see them."
She was fully naked. But the panties were safe.
This is exactly what the Minister of Health did this week. The government will pay allowances, but only those who were government sponsored during undergraduate. The privately sponsored ones will receive lunch. Lunch. Not a salary. Not an allowance. Lunch. From a system that, mind you, does not reliably provide healthy lunch to it's patients.
They did not remove the allowance. They simply removed it from half the interns, called the other half a solution, and announced it with a straight face.
The panties removed. Everything else is visible.
Government-sponsored intern. Privately-sponsored intern.
Same ward. Same shift. Same 36hr + shifts. Same legal liability. Different plate.
This is not a policy. This is divide and rule dressed in a ministry polo shirt, recorded on a shaky phone, and shared on WhatsApp as if it were good news.
The oldest trick. In the newest ministry. By the newest minister.
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?
I have worked on old men in their 70+ and women in 70+
Most men in 70s I have seen coming to the hospital are always alone, forgotten and sad. Be it poor or rich, most of them are always without anyone to take care of them.
The truth is men die alone and it's sad.
Old women on the other hand will be escorted by over 3+ caretakers, daughters, sons, grandsons and granddaughters. Even on just outpatient visits.
This old man came for surgery only with his belongings, we had to probe until a daughter came around.
And if you gave birth to only boys it's worse!!!
Let's learn to take care of our Fathers.
Just verify your account and i will teach how to earn big from it, you don’t need to have alot of followers. I will retweet and quote everyone interested, it’s time for everyone to earn from his account my people📌
Fine. If an intern is a student, let's honour that fully. Student hours. Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM.
No weekends. No night calls. Public holidays off.
And since students choose their institution, each intern studies from the hospital of their choice.
Why deploy someone to Mbale when their family home is in Busheyi and can easily walk to Ishaka.
A student selects where they learn.
That is how education works.
No more emergency calls at 2AM.
No more covering wards alone on Sunday. No more C-sections at midnight.
After all, a student cannot be held professionally liable.
A student cannot be the last line of defence in a labour ward.
A student cannot be the reason a mother survives the night.
But the moment you strip the allowance, that is exactly what they become. A student.
So let us be consistent.
Either they are students, and we treat them accordingly.
Or they are doctors, and we pay them accordingly.
You do not get to call them students at the payroll office and doctors at the emergency ward.
Pick one.
VIDEO: Here is what you need to know about the government’s new internship policy for medical interns and the bitter pill many may have to swallow.

During night duty ,I took this photo of an intern who I found having glucose (dextrose) so that he could get back on his feet.
It was the time when MOH had paid allowances ,he was on a 24hr shift with nothing to eat.
What will happen when the small allowances are scrapped off?
Uganda’s new medical internship policy is sparking heated debate between the Ministry of Health and medical professionals.
