it's a MOCKERY that none of our senior/employed doctors cares or understand the plight of interns idling at home or unemployed underpaid doctors, we need new association/unions led by the very young doctors #postmedicalinterns@MOH_Kenya@KenyaMedics_KMA@kmpdu@MSAKE_Kenya
Prompt posting of medical interns would alleviate the stress of the work load placed on the few healthcare workers in public hospitals. Would this not result in the improved quality health care service provided for patients? #postmedicalinterns@KoinangeJeff
Medical Officer interns should be deployed within 3 months of completing Medical School.
Their salaries should be paid in accordance with standard/international labor laws, without previously experienced delays.

The delay in posting and payment of MO interns at the start of the program
is a systemic failure that seriously affects quality of training of medical doctors that needs to
be addressed by the @MOH_Kenya which carries the mandate for training
healthcare worker.
The once prestigious course of medicine has become a load of uncertainties with the current govt not keen on improving the current situation in government hospitals.

You finish MBchB, and expect to be posted as soon a possible; However it takes long, you then resort to look for available opportunities, you get one they need a medical licence. You give up,. How painful and frustrating is that?

Internship is vital for medical career training. How else can requisite skills be solidified without an internship? It is gruelling to say the least to go through years of training only to miss opportunities to build competence and offer quality care. #postandpaymedicalinterns
No doubt, the MoH needs doctors, whether interns, MOs, residents or consultants. The health care system can not and will never run without us.I wonder why we are being frustrated. The 6 years training is already frustrating and expensive!! YOU NEED US. #postandpaymedicalinterns
The two national hospitals namely KNH & MTRH heavily depend on registrars on training- both self sponsored
& sponsored by employers in public/private-to provide health services.
Unfortunately, the registrars work for lengthy periods without compensation.
1 Social media posts as this #postmedicalinterns is a complete mockery of the medical profession & healthcare in general. As it is, training more doctors is a splendid thing, posting them for their mandatory internship is a more noble thing.
Healthcare personnels play a key role at ensuring that every Kenyan has access to quality health care services. Over the years, the ministry of health has ensured that the healthcare workforce is understuffed and unmotivated.
