@MinofHealthUG @UMACentralb_Off @eddympuuga @Internist_02 @DrOribaDan @FUMI_org @CelestinoGutirr @DrKisaBrian 🔥 Imagine a young doctor striking on his first day of internship!
🔥 What do you expect him to do throughout his career as a doctor.
🔥 Our leaders just pretend to care.
🔥 They accuse staff of being absent at 3 am yet the country medical staffing levels are at a meagre 28%.

[Robert Kalyesubula,MD, FISN(USA), PhD-FRCP(London) @rkalyes1]

🩺 ☠️ I have failed to wrap my mind around this issue.

🔥 We have talked about the medical internship issue for 8 months- clearly the government @MinofHealthUG has had ample time to handle it.

🔥 We are instituting bad habits in our young doctors!

Can we have this commitment for HE @jessica_alupo, written down.

Can we have the deployment of the interns include the PAYMENT PATHWAY like it was done BEFORE?

YET MONEY IS THERE.

Let's leave inspection of Healthcare facilities to Mo Health!

We know the Healthcare terrain; staffing levels, duty allocation, shifts, JHO, SHO, CO, MO, Lab Techs, Mortuary Attendant, Consultant, Physio, SNO, PNO, whom you call musawo.

During the ongoing hospital inspections, an Honourable Minister who will not be named for the sake of peace, asked a patient awaiting major surgery why the “lazy” hospital staff had not given him a nice, heavy breakfast before theatre. The patient, naturally, also began wondering why health workers had become so mean.

The question sounded compassionate. Medically, it was pure 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻.

Patients undergoing major surgery are deliberately kept fasting to reduce the risk of vomiting and inhaling stomach contents into the lungs while under anaesthesia. If a patient insists on eating a full breakfast before theatre, he may as well update his will, set his house in order and begin discussing funeral arrangements.

Had one of our renowned professors of surgery been standing nearby when that question was asked, he might now be before court answering charges of assaulting a serving whole Minister.

A Minister of Health would even if drugged, still know why the patient was fasting. They would know what questions to ask, which records to examine, and how to recognise a health worker who has just completed an exhausting night call and needs rest, not cameras and public humiliation.

Hospital inspections are necessary. Accountability is necessary. But let the Ministry of Health and qualified health professionals lead health-related inspections.

A Minister of Local Government has no business marching into a labour ward with cameras, confronting exposed and vulnerable mothers, as though the Minister of Health has been dismissed and the health sector reassigned to political theatre.

Final lesson: passion may attract cameras, but only expertise should direct health related inspections.

Dear Honourables @BalaamBarugahar
@JustineNameere

RE: CONDUCT OF MINISTERIAL INSPECTIONS AT PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES

The Uganda Medical Association (U.M.A.) acknowledges your Ministry’s commitment to rooting out corruption, absenteeism, and service delivery failures in local government. We share your goal of accountability.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, we are deeply concerned about the 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 employed during recent inspections of health facilities; specifically, the presence of television cameras in clinical areas, the public interrogation of health workers, and arrests ordered before allegations have been properly investigated.

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀. Filming patients in wards, maternity units, and consultation rooms without informed consent violates the Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Charter, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, and Article 27 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. 𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺. Finding a health worker away from their station proves nothing without first verifying the duty roster, leave records, night-duty history, and on-call arrangements. Compensatory rest after night duty, annual leave, and sick leave are lawful entitlements under the Employment Act and Article 40 of the Constitution. Accusations of absenteeism must follow verification, not precede it.

𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. Uganda’s public facilities are staffed at roughly a third of established need—34% against Ministry of Health norms, with diagnostic services at 47.7% and medicine availability at 58.9%. Where a worker refers a patient due to a stock-out or missing test, that is a systemic failure, not corruption. The two must be distinguished.

𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. Articles 28 and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the presumption of innocence and a fair hearing. Arrests and public humiliation cannot substitute for proper investigation through established @PoliceUg, public-service, and professional-regulatory channels.

U.M.A therefore recommends that;

- 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀!!!

- @GovUganda fixes the system and funds recruitment and supplies.

- Humiliation Health Workers stops immediately.

- @MoLGUganda either leaves health facility inspections to @MinofHealthUG and it's organs or requests their active involvement.

𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

After washing your clothes, why do you turn them inside out before hanging them? Is there an actual reason, or are we all just copying what our mums and neighbours have been doing?😂

It is not good to make fun of the ‘children’ that were rejected by the DNA test (Paulo Kafeero). How is it my fault for my mother to give me a wrong father, and to grow up knowing that! We shouldn’t add more trauma to what they must be going through internally. It’s not funny.

I think we’re a traumatised people desperately looking for what to laugh about to offload (displace) our own trauma!
