OFFICIAL POSITION STATEMENT OF THE INTER-UNIVERSITY NURSING AND MIDWIFERY STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (INMSA)
"NO INTERNSHIP REFORMS WITHOUT INTERNS: OUR FUTURE, OUR VOICE, OUR HEALTH SYSTEM"
As we celebrate Heroes Day, let us recognize our unsung heroes, medical interns.
Every day, they work long hours in wards, theatres, emergency units, and maternity wards, serving patients with dedication and sacrifice. Their contribution to healthcare deserves recognition, fair treatment, and adequate support.
A nation that values healthcare must value its medical interns.
#PayAllMedicalInterns
"My humble appeal to senior doctors, health leaders, policymakers, and all people of goodwill is that we stand together and permanently reject any move to deny remuneration to medical interns. No society should expect its young frontline doctors to serve without fair support." #PayAllMedicalInterns #SaveLives
The struggle for justice continues.
Dr. Mirembe Joel
Annual packages for medical Interns as per the different countries in the EAC.
1: Kenya ~ 59- 68M UGX Annually
2: Rwanda~ 24 - 48M UGX Annually
3: Tanzania ~ 18-36M UGX Annually
4: Uganda~ 12M Annually and with the new policy it will be 0 shillings
It’s either our very leaders are delusional or simply lack political will to do the needful!
Anyway what to do when those with ideas have no power and those with power are completely green! About what to do! What a paradox!
But don’t forget fate is a double crosser!!!!!!!
If you can allocate over 10Bn Ugx for some company to teach Ugandans how to drink coffee! And you can’t appropriate money for a group that is centrally the engine of our healthcare system! Mukisusa!
