On call days, I usually visit a friend who stays in the hospital. Our conversations are always enlightening. This week, our topic turned to the finances of our medical career. I told him that pursuing a medical career can be a bad financial decision for some people. If your family expects you to support them financially after school, it can be a poor investment. I came to this conclusion after realizing that if I solely depended on our remuneration, I wouldn’t be able to afford my internship. On average, I have spent more on internship than I have earned, both in terms of time and money. Ironically, the skills I have gained are not highly valued in the job market.

Imagine if your friend came from a poor family in a very rural area, where they had to sell assets to fund his medical school and support him through his internship. What if he couldn’t stay in Kampala to hustle and had to return to the village? Even if he got a job, what would that family's return on investment be? Maybe in the long term, but the short term is a sad story.
For adequate financial compensation, he needs an MMED, which is ironic, right? They would need to sell more assets until he gets a scholarship. (if he is lucky) Times have changed, and such families need to invest in education differently. They should focus on high-level skills for the future. Or the ones the current market is compensating well. (the ones where people are getting billions😉) If they choose medicine, it has to be in a non-conventional way, studying it alongside training in on-demand skills that complement clinical work. These ones really pay off as a doctor. The title opens good doors to such work.

I am now deeply passionate about seeing patients. The internship has only increased my love for clinical work. However, I am afraid it is not financially viable.

How did we get here? What does this mean for the quality of care?
We know the largest employer of doctors; what are they doing about this?
What can we (the GenZ😉 ) do about this?
This problem is clearly a systems issue, extending beyond the health system. Health is invaluable, so why isn’t the market compensating this skill as generously as it does for other highly paid professions in this country? (the ones getting billions) Financial policies?
Can the population afford it? If they can’t, how can we address this? Universal health coverage? Public investment in health?

Ebibuuzo bingi naye answer ntono!
