Uganda doesn't need intern doctors.

Mothers have been giving birth since Genesis.
The cervix knows what to do. The placenta has never read a textbook and has always figured it out. Postpartum haemorrhage is simply the body being dramatic.
If the baby is not breathing, pray. It has worked before.
We have testimonies.

And this 70% of healthcare services they claim to provide in public facilities, frankly, that number sounds exaggerated.
Surely the walls are doing something. The benches. The relatives who sleep under the bed and remind the patient to breathe.
Uganda's healthcare system is a community effort. Interns are simply taking the credit. For nothing.

"World health organization recommends 1 doctor to each 1000 patients. But in Uganda, it is 1 doctor per each 250,000 patients.
For example, if you attend Namboole stadium, that is 1 doctor per half of Namboole stadium."~Dr.Asiimwe #PayMedicalInterns

I come from Rukungiri District, Bwambara Sub-county.

Bwambara covers approximately 513 square kilometers and has a population of about 32,143 people.

Despite this, there is no Health Centre IV in the entire sub county, only Health Centre IIIs. This means the highest level of care available is largely dependent on clinical officers.

In summary, there is not a single medical doctor serving that entire population.

For a mother to undergo a Caesarean section, she must travel about 60 km to Rukungiri Town and seek care from private facilities such as Nyakibare Hospital, or continue another 20 km to Kisizi Hospital, both private institutions.

So when people ask whether Uganda has enough doctors, the answer is simple: No, we do not.📌

[Dr. Christon A.K Rweshakyira @Dr_Chris_Twine]

Nobody asks the doctor how they are doing.
Not after the patient dies on the table.
Not after the family screams in the corridor.
Not after the third night call in a row.
Not after the clinical error that keeps them awake at 3AM.

We built a system that demands emotional resilience
Without providing emotional infrastructure.
The patient's mental health matters.
So does the doctor's.
The system only seems to know this about one of them.

Pakistan has the highest inbreeding rate in the world, at around 65%.

Children of cousin marriages may seem normal at first, but over generations, this is often the result.

Please do not marry your cousin.

In 2021, in the middle of Covid-19 lockdown, alone on duty, this nurse, Sylvia Nyangoma single handedly helped to deliver mothers of 126 babies, attended to 17 referral cases, and registered zero deaths at Bugoigo health centre II in Buliisa district.

Guys got annoyed at Daily Monitor for questioning the whereabouts of a public servant that’s been missing in action for several months. So we should stay silent when our taxes continue to pay salaries of people we don’t see, while denying salaries to medical interns that we see.

“You cannot say that you have Shs158 billion to purchase cars for MPs and then claim that you do not have Shs 28 billion to pay medical interns’ allowances, with the excuse that it would crush the economy. By the way, doctors are rarely in the hospitals. It is the medical interns who are everywhere doing the donkey work,” Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu

Consequences of the new internship policy in summary.

[Dr. Christon A.K Rweshakyira @Dr_Chris_Twine]

Let's talk numbers.
Uganda has ~2,000 medical interns.
A C-section costs UGX 2,000,000 at a private facility.

If each intern performs just 1 C-section per month:
2,000 × 2,000,000 = UGX 4 billion/month
Over 12 months = UGX 48 billion/year in healthcare value delivered, free to patients.

The government pays each intern UGX 1,000,000/month.
Total cost: 2,000 × 1,000,000 × 12 = UGX 24 billion/year

Value generated: UGX 48 billion. Cost: UGX 24 billion.
That is a 100% ROI, on C-sections alone.

For every shilling spent on an intern, the public gets two shillings back in healthcare value.

And the average intern performs 50+ procedures or equivalents during their internship. The actual return is not 2x. It is not calculable.

The "no money" argument assumes interns consume resources.
The data says they generate them.

This is not a wage. It is an investment with a guaranteed return.
Paid in lives.
