Our mothers didn't really do all of this. It wasn't always possible. The labour was passed on to daughters. We made fires, put those pots on the stove. They'd do the touch-ups for flavour but we did most of the work. We started cooking way before teenagehood.
Beyond the panels, our members put words into action! 🩸🔬 MakMS students checked their blood groups with Stratus Medical via Eldon cards & got screened for sickle cell with @HDU_official & @nicosamhealthug
For all this, we are immensely grateful! 🙌🏾 @RaisingHopeInt2
Last Friday, the MakMS delegation showed up in full force for the 5th Annual Uganda Sickle Cell Convention 2026!
A massive thank you to the entire team at Raising Hope International Friends for prioritizing medical student involvement and medical education.#SickleCellConvention
Intern doctors are not students.
Unpaid medical internship is modern-day slavery.
Hungry and angry interns are a danger to the patients.
The @MinofHealthUG should consider proper renumeration of ALL interns under the new National Education and Training for Health Policy.
Meanwhile, Parliament wants to expand Cabinet ministers from 21 to 30 and State Ministers from 31 to 51, a move that will cost taxpayers billions, with no clear ROI.
There is money for political comfort, but no money for doctors in apprenticeship?
Who bewitched our country?
Right?
Reminds me of the people that lose weight and suddenly become weight management coaches 😭, nutritionists mind you people go to school to become nutritionist! Bisesa🤌🏾
If suitors of your daughter come to you asking what they should bring for ‘bride price’ to marry her, apart from symbolic items, do not negotiate as though in a market. Your daughter is not an object for sale, and cannot be equated to anything. Don’t make the man feel like they have bought your daughter and she’s now their property to treat as they please. If it’s a token of appreciation, tokens are neither demanded nor negotiated for. No matter how much we may sanitise it, any negotiation involving items is trade. The values around the practice can be preserved without the commodification of girls.
