The government says it is ending support for medical interns because the number of doctors has increased and resources are limited.
But let us look deeper.
Who allows the mushrooming of universities and medical training institutions across the country? Who licenses schools that admit almost everyone who can afford tuition? Many of these institutions are owned or backed by politically connected individuals whose primary interest appears to be profit rather than strengthening Uganda's healthcare system.
Year after year, more students are admitted, more tuition is collected, and more graduates are produced yet when it is time to facilitate internship training and integrate these young professionals into the health system, government suddenly claims there is no money.
The truth is that Uganda is not short of needs for doctors. Our hospitals remain understaffed, health centres lack personnel, and patients continue to travel long distances for treatment. This implies that the issue is not necessarily the number of intern doctors but rather the priorities.
There is always money for political clowns, allowances, luxury vehicles, and endless government expenditures. But when it comes to medical interns, hospitals, medicines, and healthcare workers, the money disappears.
What message are we sending as a country when politicians are treated as more important than the health of ordinary citizens?
A nation that under funds healthcare while expanding political spending is choosing politics over people and it is the ordinary struggling Ugandans that face the repercussions.
WE REJECT THAT SHAMBOLIC POLICY!

The policy makers noticed a state of limbo between the completion of medical school, and deployment for internship, especially in the face of limited capacity of training facilities.
Their solution: Make internship a requirement for graduation (not just licensure), and put Pre-internship exams to bar a few more students from deployment.
A internship that will not be paid, while the students slave away for a year.
This is unfair, #revisetheentirehealthpolicy
