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.
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.

Nobody talks about how God’s love is not transactional. It doesn’t increase when you’re faithful and decrease when you’re not. It doesn’t reward your good seasons and withhold in your bad ones. It’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
HAPPENING NOW: "Former Spaaker of Parliament @AnitahAmong told me that I should be taken to Butabika because I was criticising her. But I replied that since Butabika and Luzira Prison are on the same road, I will go to Butabika as you head to Luzira," says Akiiki Florence Asiimwe, the Masindi Woman MP.

Naye mwe, having read the comments bashing Alexandra medical centre both here and on TikTok I felt the need to explain a few things here.
Let’s have a real talk about this whole pressure on Alexandra Medical Centre regarding the late MP Hellen.
A lot of people are shouting for the hospital to drop a full word for word, blow by blow explanation of everything that happened to her. But come on, guys, even when someone passes away, they still deserve their dignity and confidentiality. That doesn’t just disappear the second they’re gone!
Look, medical ethics are very clear on this. Patient confidentiality is a BIG deal in healthcare, it’s basically the foundation of the whole profession. It’s in the Hippocratic Oath, the professional codes, and even the law.
Doctors and hospitals are not allowed to just share your personal health details with anyone. This protection stays even after death, to protect the person’s dignity and give the family space to grieve in private.
Only the immediate family or next of kin can get the full report, and it’s totally up to them if, when, or how they decide to share it. Not the public, not the media, not social media demanding answers.
Let’s look at it this way, even when Hellen was still alive, she didn’t go into details with anyone! She only told the LOP Ssenyonyi that she was going for surgery, she never mentioned what condition it was or what kind of surgery. No one has come out from her close people to detail what she told them. For some she only told them she had been having some stomach pains according to what I’ve heard from what is going on. No one, absolutely no one got a detailed explanation of what she was dealing with.
So now we’re expecting the hospital to suddenly put everything out there for us? Nah, that’s not fair. Doctors can’t just switch off their ethical mode and start spilling patient info to satisfy public curiosity. That would break the same rules that protect all of us when we’re sick.
The hospital won’t break the confidentiality. That’s just wrong. Let’s respect the same medical ethics that keep every one of us safe whether we’re alive or not. The family will share what they want, when they want. Simple as that. Let’s be kind about this ❤️
