#DeployAllMedicalInterns & put to end, the negative implications this has had on both the interns and the public. Rt.Hon. @RobinahNabbanja Hospitals are overwhelmed by numbers of patients, kindly intervene and ensure the immediate deployment of all medical pre-interns.
Together with the Federation for Uganda Medical Interns, we are holding a press conference to urge the @MinofHealthUG and the Government of Uganda to address the plight of medical interns, which have significant implications for the public health system. Year after year, trained medical graduates face numerous challenges, ranging from delayed pay to insufficient pay and now to delayed or selective deployment.
According to the Ministry of Health, over 1,500 medical interns have not been deployed, primarily due to insufficient funding. The government allocated 35 billion shillings for allowances for over 1,200 medical interns expected to be deployed by the Ministry of Health in the coming months. However, a budget shortfall of 18.5 billion shillings has hindered the deployment of the remaining interns.
The failure to deploy all qualified medical interns is not only a disservice to them but also poses a significant threat to the health of many Ugandans who rely on their services.

From a Prisons officer. Many low rank police officers are asking the same question. Some explanations have been given, but they don’t seem to be convinced

@hotniqqha@MinofHealthUG@DianaAtwine, @JaneRuth_Aceng so when did the ratio of 4interns to 1 specialist end because you've only deployed 19interns instead of 45+, if not more suffering and delay in health care delivery in hospitals . The community have a right to better health.

"We will not tire in our demand for deployment"
A section of medical interns were earlier today blocked from accessing Parliament to meet Speaker Anita Among. They intended to petition the Speaker regarding their delayed deployment and the urgent need for Shs18 billion supplementary budget to deploy all eligible medical degree holders for internship.
