Mistakes young doctors make that nobody warns you about. Not the clinical ones. The ones that cost you mentally. Thread:

As we fix the healthcare infrastructure, we must look into human resource for health.

General practitioners (Medical Officers) serve as the backbone of Kenya’s healthcare system. They stabilise emergencies, manage wards, lead outpatient clinics, and deliver essential care across the country, often in places where specialists are unavailable.

#JusticeForMedics has less than 2k posts with over 40,000 medics and 20k students. So sad.

Medical interns only needed 4.3 billion shillings to offer services in our severely understaffed hospitals where some patients even die before getting to see a doctor. You mean AUC chair seat is more important than kenyans lives? I can't believe how retroprogressive KK govt is!!

A doctor who advances thru the ranks from a Medical Intern to a Consultant with subspecialty skills will by the end of this process have provided 10-15 years of clinical services depending on their specialty. These are critical skilled professionals that the country must protect!

[Dr. Ouma Oluga, OGW @fnoluga]

I don’t understand how SRC came to decide that medical interns stipends be at Kshs 50,000/- to 70,000/-.

In 2016/2017, together with SRC we did a thorough job comparing countries of similar economic status, investment in education, complexity of job, value of job in generating impact (revenue, savings in other drs who would have been employed if interns were not there, patient outcomes, etc).

We documented and it is fact that interns are 27% of health workforce. Imagine 27% of all money we would pay to workers if interns were not there.

You know how much health workers cost now? It is 87 B a year. Summed up for all Counties and minus Referral Hospitals. A third of 87 B would be near 30 B Kshs.

So interns are saving Kenya 30 B and we want to argue that 5B is way too much to pay them. A mere 16% of what they are saving the taxpayer?

Further, we compared intern salaries with countries of similar economic status.

Plus interns actually work.

See how we came up with the figures in the CBA?

May lightening strike scrotums and ovaries failing this country and unnecessarily provoking doctors.

And you, please hide this kind of thinking… Not for your caliber.
