🔥 Congratulations to the successful candidates.👏🎉
🔥 We all know how hard it is to get a government job.
🔥 We now urge the @MinofHealthUG
@HSC_UG & @mopsuganda to fill the 106,077 (69%) health sector vacancies that remain unfilled.

🔥 Especially the medical interns!

That video is so sad to watch. She literally cried out to the judge and she couldn't understand. Where's the humility?
Now y'all know why people celebrate when in power die or lose their loved ones.

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Spurs getting relegated next season would mean this lad would be relegated thrice in a row. Sounds scripted 😂

WHAT DOCTORS SAY WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING: WHAT I LEARNED FROM A ROOM FULL OF UGANDAN DOCTORS

By Henry Mutebe

As someone who works in public health but is not a medical doctor, I occasionally get the chance of sitting in spaces where these health professionals discuss their work at a depth that many of us outside medicine rarely get to see. Every time I do, I come away with a new appreciation of the profession.

A few weeks ago, I attended a mortality audit involving a pre-term baby who had, sadly, passed. This particular experience left a lasting impression on me. For those who may not know what a mortality audit is, it is essentially a structured review of a death. In this case, it was a baby born prematurely who was referred from another health facility and later passed away despite the efforts made to save the child's life.

What fascinated me was not simply the process itself, but the honesty, rigor, and depth with which it was conducted.
Let me paint for you a picture of what I saw. Basically, consultants/specialists, medical officers, interns, nurses, anesthetists, laboratory personnel, and other members of the care team sat in one room and then the case (the story of the child who had passed) was then presented in detail.

The presentation starts from the very beginning. Who was the patient? What was the mother's history? What happened during pregnancy? Were there any risk factors identified during antenatal care? Where was the baby born? What was the condition of the baby at birth?

When was the referral made? How long did the transfer take? What condition was the child in upon arrival? What interventions were done? What medicines were given? What investigations were requested? What were the results? At what exact time did each of these things happen? And then the discussion begins.

The team goes through the case almost minute by minute. Could the diagnosis have been made earlier? Was the right treatment given? Was it given at the correct dose? Was it given at the correct time? Were the laboratory results accurate? Were they interpreted correctly? Were the machines functioning properly? Had the equipment been serviced?

Were oxygen levels monitored correctly? Were there delays in referral? Were there missed opportunities during antenatal care? Were warning signs overlooked somewhere along the patient's journey? It is so detailed that nothing is taken for granted.

These guys question a lot of things. They asked so many things but that’s all I could, with my arts mind, remember 

And there is a sense in which, despite the honesty with which its done, you feel like people are not looking for someone to blame, but they are looking for lessons. It was that method that got me hooked.

What struck me most was the extent to which the discussion was anchored in science, evidence, protocols, and guidelines. At every stage, people would ask: What do the guidelines say? Some Doctor would then state the guidelines on a certain dosage, procedure or issue. There is no gambling!

They would ask what is the recommended standard of care? Was the protocol followed? Was there any deviation from established practice? If there was, what was the reason? The discussion was not driven by opinions, seniority, or personalities. It is an examination of what was done mapped against what is recommended to be done.

The discussions were driven by evidence. There in that room, its science. They have absolute established guidelines and they do this with such relentless attention to detail. I found that profoundly impressive.

The level of care with which every step was examined was extraordinary. Tiny details that many of us would dismiss as insignificant were carefully scrutinized because in medicine, as I learnt during that meeting, sometimes the difference between life and death lies in what appears to be a small detail.
Mortality audits hold everyone to account.

Three days since his abduction near @NUP_Ug's former headquarters in Kamwokya on 17th June, comrade Andrew Natumanya 'Tabz' remains missing. Our teams are doing everything possible to locate him but no positive results so far. We continue to demand his immediate release, and remain committed to ending this impunity once and for all!

[ch!goz!e @_kigozi]

Maybe we should just stop giving him our attention. We let him tweet his ga things nga tetumufaako.

[Ramah Kizito @RamahKizito]

Today, we rally our voices not in fear, but in solidarity. We call on all defenders of justice, human rights, and freedom of expression to speak up and keep this issue in the public eye.

Use your voice. Share the message. Demand accountability.

@JoelSsenyonyi @BuffaloSoldierA Thank you, Sir!

[NBS Television @nbstv]

Hon @JoelSsenyonyi: The question of the lack of resources for medical interns does not arise. The government recently suspended public holiday functions to save money.

We, as parliament, had already passed that entire budget so that money is available, and about UGX 24 billion is going to be saved.

Now that those functions are not going to be held, why don’t we channel that money to the medical interns?

“You cannot say that you have Shs158 billion to purchase cars for MPs and then claim that you do not have Shs 28 billion to pay medical interns’ allowances, with the excuse that it would crush the economy. By the way, doctors are rarely in the hospitals. It is the medical interns who are everywhere doing the donkey work,” Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu

🔥 I stand with the intern doctors and other medical interns.

[ch!goz!e @_kigozi]

We really can't keep explaining the same thing over and over again!

[justice hunter 🇺🇬🇺🇸 @hillarytaylorvi]

government should pay all interns. paying only medical doctors was discriminatory.
