Betrayal rarely comes from enemies; their intentions are clear. The deepest wounds are often inflicted by those closest to us, the ones we trusted, valued, and never expected to hurt us.

Medical students, in solidarity, reject the entire health policy, which undermines the importance and status of medical interns.
Protect the doctors, protect the patients, protect the health system.

Uganda’s proposed medical education and internship reforms deserve careful reconsideration. Medical training and healthcare are pillars of human development, and Makerere Medical School remains one of Africa’s finest institutions, renowned for tropical medicine. Intern doctors bridge critical staffing gaps in our hospitals; withdrawing their financial support risks worsening workforce shortages, delaying training, increasing costs, and weakening healthcare delivery. I urge President Museveni to intervene and protect Uganda’s health sector.

While this seems acted, it is true that it is dangerous to put our lives in the hands of unpaid and demotivated medical interns. This is not just about them, it is a national health risk. There is a lot of money wasted on luxury, useless things and useless people. We can’t say we’ve failed to find money for overworked needy young people entrusted with citizens’ lives. A country that demotivates its health workers is a country that doesn’t value lives of its citizens.
#PayMedicalInterns
🔥 Slowly but surely the government, the @MinofHealthUG & @Educ_SportsUg are going to "feel" the medical interns
🔥 All government posts are not filled!
🔥 Did you know that Interns cover gaps in health! Look at the health sector stats!

@ntvuganda you want someone to look after your voters where drugs are scarce, you want the best service ever but don't want to pay that person. How fair is that?
what are your intentions?
Where are your priorities?
🤔 Colleagues, we are not going to get far by tearing down other medics. This is counterproductive!
🔥 Instead direct your grievances to the source of power: His Excellence @KagutaMuseveni
🔥 More importantly get the public and the media to clearly understand our plight ....
Good morning our dearest Jajja @KagutaMuseveni , are you aware that the people at MOH not only made you a liar but also changed your whole directive and are telling interns to work without pay when you said they should be paid 2.5M monthly?
