Now or Never.
Dear Interns, this is the moment to stand firm. Stay solid, stay united, and stay focused. Our strength is in our collective voice and our commitment to the cause.
Let no pressure divide us. One struggle. One voice. One united front. We stand together .
On Ugandaโs health sector State & the internship deployment standoff Space meeting @DrLutaayaAndrew spoke for many of us..Brave, bold, and unapologeticโ
Weโarnt reporting without a clear deployment statement on our welfare.
#PayAllMedicalInterns
Interns doctors have been arrested simply for demanding facilitation to perform their duties of saving lives. Is this really the Uganda we want? Release our young peopleโthe future and pillars of this country.๐

UPDATE ๐ช
We have been released on police bond and will report back to police on 14th August 2026.
I would like to sincerely appreciate everyone who stood with us during this difficult moment, especially ;
The six @TheUMAofficial lawyers who were present at CPS and provided immediate legal support.
The UMA Vice President, @m_kabweru43739,
FUMI Vice President, Dr. Atuha Joseph,
UMA Chairperson, Ethics Committee, Dr. Garvin,
The UMA Treasurer General,
Emeritus UMA Secretary General, Dr. Mirembe,
And the large team of incoming interns who came through and stood with us.
We also appreciate the entire leadership of @OfficialFUMSA , ANSU, PSU, the Association of Dental Surgeons, and everyone who mobilised, checked on us and stood in solidarity.
To everyone who thought the arrests would intimidate us, you have only made us stronger๐ช
We remain calm, united and resolute. Our concerns have not changed, and neither has our position.
We shall not report to any hospital or ward until our concerns are meaningfully addressed and there is clear commitment regarding the welfare and remuneration of medical interns.
This is not about fear.
This is about dignity. Fairness. Justice.
The struggle continues. We shall not be intimidated.
NO PAY, NO REPORTING. ๐
