Good friends colleagues, i had an opportunity to host Hon Baryomunsi at Department of Surgery
Had good deliberations and soon he will usher U.M.A NEC to MoH for discussions, relating to: Health Training Policy, U.M.S Bill Interns Remuneration, Insurance Policy
“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

It was invaluable joy to be part of the 22 @LeoAfricaInst fellows. I am portion of the prestigious Huduma Fellowship for public servants. Our foundation seminars we held btn 29/05- 30/05. We were ideologically nourished in the pillars of servant leadership and critical thinking.
@ElectDrFrankHQ, your courage and consistency are appreciated. thank you for remaining steadfast in this cause."The drum that warns of danger should not be broken for making noise." Speaking against a harmful policy is not defiance or rebellion. @TheUMAofficial@OfficialFUMSA
Uganda’s proposed medical education and internship reforms deserve careful reconsideration. Medical training and healthcare are pillars of human development, and Makerere Medical School remains one of Africa’s finest institutions, renowned for tropical medicine. Intern doctors bridge critical staffing gaps in our hospitals; withdrawing their financial support risks worsening workforce shortages, delaying training, increasing costs, and weakening healthcare delivery. I urge President Museveni to intervene and protect Uganda’s health sector.

⚔️ Day two continued with perhaps the most visceral session yet. Courage and Resilience, because leadership is not always glorious. Sometimes it is hard, lonely, and costly.
@Nvannungi_ opened with a question that stopped the room: "How do you want the people you serve to measure your life's work and legacy?" She reminded fellows that while they carry a great duty to serve, they also carry an equally important duty to self. Time and resources are limited. Make them count.
@Uwihanganye_A pushed fellows further, asking what success truly means to them, and what achievement they most deeply aspire to.
@AgnesIgoye brought warmth to the conversation, sharing her experience mentoring young people and the quiet, underrated power of deep, lasting friendships in sustaining a life of service. 🤝
The session's anchor text was Theodore Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena", and fellows found in it a gritty, honest mirror. Three truths rose to the surface:
🛡️ Sideline commentary is not leadership. If you are not willing to be wrong, criticised, or defeated, you are spectating, not leading.
🩸 Failure is not a sign of weakness. It is proof you had the courage to try. The arena demands it.
🔥 What sustains you in the hard moments is not applause. It is a cause that matters more to you than your own comfort.
Roosevelt's words, written in 1910, rang as true as ever in that room today: the worst case in the arena is still infinitely better than the best case on the sidelines. 🌍
Step in. Stay in. Lead. ✊
