When the NRM Government came to power in 1986, it championed the liberalisation of Uganda’s education sector. At the time President Museveni assumed leadership, the country had only one university, Makerere University. ~ Hon. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1

I guess the Hon. Minister is convinced that once Medical Interns have lunch, they can sleep on wards in the night (no need of accommodation), drink hospital tea for dinner, wear hospital scrubs and clinical coats (no need of money for clothes) and walk from ward to ward (no need of transport money or cars) Dr Kalungi R K

Parenting has no manual. Drunkards have raised priests, holy families have raised drunkards, chiefs have raised thieves, peasant farmers have raised doctors, and rich men have raised beggars. Success is relative, so don't judge other people's children.

[Dr. Sserunjogi Emma @DrSerunjogiEmma]

Numbers of MPs have been increasing every 5 years and we have never had a care where they failed to find 30m to pay an MP but medical interns increasing, now they can't find 2M for a medical intern.

It's not about increasing numbers, it's called priorities.

Government is getting bloated, duplicate agencies. You have ministry of ICT and ministry of innovations in with two ministers.
Ministry of agriculture and one for fisheries etc etc.

All these bloated government agencies have hundreds of employees and all get allowances and salaries but it's the 2m for 1000 medical interns they cannot find.

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

We extend special appreciation to the Leader of Opposition, Hon. @JoelSsenyonyi, for ably articulating the issue of medical internship before the House.

The welfare, deployment, supervision, and facilitation of medical interns are not minor administrative concerns. They directly affect service delivery, patient safety, and the future of Uganda’s health workforce.

Thank you for giving this matter the attention it deserves.

Thank you Parliamentarians, thank you Hon.@JoelSsenyonyi for bringing the plight of Internship to the floor of Parliament.

@TheUMAofficial is now confident that our redemption is near.

Government can, and should find money to pay medical interns!

Hon. @JoelSsenyonyi: The issue of medical interns is not a political matter for debate between NRM and the Opposition. It is a concern for all of us. I hope government will find the resources and reconsider.

I feel like holding a space telling people who a medical intern is in Uganda.

Today, I want us to pause and really understand who a medical intern is in Uganda because our Ministry of Health seems to have forgotten.

Let me paint the picture clearly.
A medical intern is a fresh medical graduate , someone who has just completed their MBChB or equivalent entering a mandatory one year supervised internship before they can get full registration and practice independently. This is not optional training; it’s the critical bridge between classroom theory and real-life doctoring.

On the wards, this intern is expected to know every single patient under their care: how they came in, their full history, what investigations have been done, what treatments started, and the progress so far. Specialists and senior doctors often rush in for just a few minutes especially for the critical cases. They review, give quick orders like ‘do these labs, start this treatment, follow up on that’ and then they disappear to theatre, clinics, or their own homes.

Who stays behind to execute everything? The medical intern. They follow up on every decision, monitor the patient round the clock, adjust care, and handle complications as they arise.

Interns are often the first point of contact for patients. In many of our understaffed hospitals, up to 80% of patients from admission to discharge are managed almost entirely by interns. They clerk new admissions, stabilize emergencies, run the daily ward rounds, prescribe medications, perform procedures (under supervision where needed), write discharge summaries, and communicate with families. They are the backbone holding the system together.

And as if that heavy clinical load isn’t enough, medical interns are expected to be available 24/7. Long shifts, night calls, weekends, work on holidays, no proper rest. Falling sick? That’s not really an option; you push through because patients can’t wait. Many interns report working 48 hour stretches with little sleep, all while learning on the job in high pressure environments like labour wards, surgical theatres, paediatrics, and medicine.

They cushion a massive human resource gap contributing 60-80% of the clinical workload in public hospitals. Without them, wards would grind to a halt, maternal and child deaths would skyrocket, and emergency care would collapse.

Yet, this is the very person the MOH now wants to work a full year with NO pay.
After we fought in 2021, government temporarily increased allowances from 700k to 2.5M. Then it was slashed to 1M, delayed repeatedly, and now they’re pushing for zero and reclassifying interns as ‘students’ while still expecting full doctor level service. This is not training; this is exploitation. Medicine is not a call to poverty.

Interns are saving lives daily while barely surviving themselves. Hungry, frustrated, and unmotivated doctors cannot deliver the best care. We have seen the impact on maternal mortality and overall health outcomes.

Fellow Ugandans, doctors, students, and leaders this affects all of us. Better health systems start with respecting the people who keep them running. MOH, better look for that money and pay these interns fairly. Uniform allowance for all with no discrimination, and timely payments.
We serve a living God, and no weapon formed against justice shall prosper. Let’s keep the pressure on tag your MP, share this, and join the conversation. What are your experiences or questions? Drop them in the chat. 💪🙏
