[Dr. Osinde Ochieng A. @AllanOsinde]

Majority of Ugandans are welcomed into this world by medical intern doctors!
Surprisingly., someone is saying do not pay the hands that deliver Ugandans from their mother's wombs! @TheUMAofficial

Leaders of a nation who consider not paying the first people to receive and treat the citizens of the nation have forgotten their duty!

[Joshua 🏆🔥🏉 @TheUnitedFan7]

These two headlines are only 24 hours apart, and a one @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 Baryomunsi wants to convince interns that the government cannot offer 35B to pay 2000 interns per year a minimum of the previously given 1M.

@MinofHealthUG check yourselves, mweddeko. Ugandans will pay!

[Kasango Joet MD @joet_dr]

@KwikirizaNova @Atuhire_Praise @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 If you can't pay them, then let them just learn but not using them to cover staffing gaps we having in public hospitals.Medical interns deserve better. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 you're one of us let that sink, we aredumping the professional with such simple allowances,keep them motivated

[Kasango Joet MD @joet_dr]

@KwikirizaNova @Atuhire_Praise @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 Interns are not asking to be paid to learn, but pay them for doing the work beyond just learning.
Using them to cover a staffing gap: started with paying them less and now you want to have free labor.
That's so moral of y'all...
If you can't pay them, then let them just learn

@DrOtileUg World Medical Association Resolution on rights of Medical Trainees [2007] provides that "Medical Trainees should have fair working conditions,supervision and APPROPRIATE REMUNERATION for their work and responsibilities".

Medical Trainees deserve compensation for their services!

[Jacob Otile, MD @DrOtileUg]

The Government needs 15M shs a year, per Junior House Officer (Intern Dr).

This person will.
1. Conduct cesarean section in the most remote parts of the Country that have no access to obstetricians
2. Run all the 4 major units (medical, pediatrics and surgical and OBGYN units)
3. Attend to emergencies 24/7 none stop
4. Run a shift of 36-72 hrs straight with no rest

But this same person is expected to provide for his own food, accommodation, transport too and from the hospital most times late in the dark of the night.

This is unacceptable and can’t not be allowed to happen.

[FRNK Asiimwe @RubabindaJr]

The doctors to close the Doctor: Patient Ratio gap from 1:25,000 down to 1:1,000 are now there, let's not drop the ball by mishandling this gain.
@TheUMAofficial, will not look by as @MinofHealthUG fumbles with our gold.

[Dr Colline Gwebayanga 💊🩺 @GwebayangaC]

To every intern doctor, pharmacist, nurse or midwife: You are not a volunteer.

To every hospital relying on intern pharmacists: You cannot demand professional service and deny professional recognition.

To every leader entrusted with protecting the health workforce: Injustice today creates workforce shortages tomorrow.

To every Ugandan who has ever received care in a health facility: An intern may have diagnosed you, dispensed your medicines, monitored your treatment or cared for your loved one. Your silence rewards exploitation.

[Jacob Otile, MD @DrOtileUg]

“The medical interns are too many”.

Uganda currently has 8 National Referrals and 16 Regional Referral Hospitals

Averagely, the government deploys about 2,100 interns a year.

These numbers are not even enough to cover the 16 regional referral hospitals.

We haven’t even talked about the 8 NRH which would take more that half of the already existing numbers

So what does this mean.

In practice, the intern does 36-72 hrs of shift nonstop to cover up for the gaps/shifts which gap is made worse when one is sick or on leave.

The government getting cheap labor while overworking the interns is already a bigger risk and saying they won’t be paid is left for one to wonder what exactly will happen.

[Kasango Joet MD @joet_dr]

But who was consulted as far as this policy is concerned????
All bodies testify they were not consulted 🤔 the UMA,UNMC,PSU ......@MinofHealthUG @Educ_SportsUg @Parliament_Ug @pwatchug Medical interns deserve to be paid #paymedicalintern

[Gladys Atto @AttoGladys]

This is sad. I stand with the Uganda Medical Association in condemning this move.

#Reinstate medical interns allowance!

Dr. Frank Asiimwe: The people at the Ministry of Health are just afraid to confront their colleagues at the Ministry of Finance who are misappropriating funds.

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

Meanwhile, Parliament wants to expand Cabinet ministers from 21 to 30 and State Ministers from 31 to 51, a move that will cost taxpayers billions, with no clear ROI.

There is money for political comfort, but no money for doctors in apprenticeship?

Who bewitched our country?

[NBS Television @nbstv]

Dr. Frank Asiimwe: Medical Interns are employees and must be paid to do the work. If you don't pay them, you can't control them and you aren't protecting the patients.
