Standing in solidarity alongside UMA President @HerbertLuswata & Secretary General @MirembeDr after today's court hearing to end the chronic annual delays in deployment of medical interns. Many thanks @cehurduganda
@TheUMAofficial for pushing for timely placements
DR. KATOOKO DAISY retweeted
Dear general public, kindly find attached a copy of our letter on the unconstitutional move by the Ministry of Health to deny our colleagues allowances.
As @TheUMAofficial charts its next chapter, you are invited to join, listen, engage, and shape the future of UMA. You wouldn’t want to miss this. Time your clock, and be part of the conversation as UMA decides.

UPDATE: With elections for the Federation of Uganda Medical Interns (FUMI) set for 27th September 2025, interns in Yumbe District, led by Socrates Joseph Odongo, are pushing for reforms through a set of "irreducible minimums." #NTVNews
Odongo, a presidential candidate, promises to prioritize finalizing the internship policy, financial justice, structured career paths, post-internship employment plans, and better engagement with the Ministry of Health. He also advocates for enforcing public service guidelines on working hours and housing.
Nominations close today.
📸 Rashul Adidi, Yumbe District.
I bring to the table a passion for advocacy, a deep understanding of our collective challenges, and a steadfast commitment to service during times of delay and change. #FUMI2025/26

Earlier today, with CEHURD, we attended court with the medical interns to compel government to find a sustainable solution to the recurrent welfare challenges faced by junior house officers ( Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and midwives.
We thank CEHURD for the legal aid
Finally! The wait is over. Join in this weekend as we come together at Shaza Grounds, Kisoro to run for Climate Action in the #VirungaGorillaMarathon25
The extended uncertainty has not only disrupted professional plans but also caused significant mental and emotional strain on the medical pre-interns. With the directive given by the D/Speaker @Thomas_Tayebwa unattended to, the interns are left in limbo! #DeployAllMedicalInterns
It’s starting to look a lot more like lack of political will! @Thomas_Tayebwa @HerbertLuswata @JoelSsenyonyi @GorrethNamugga @AnitahAmong @DailyMonitor @SpireJim @WHOUganda @TheUMAofficial @CanaryMugume @SemujjuNganda1

The plight for medical interns isn’t about unavailability of funds as some officials are saying. It all comes down to planning and financing priorities.
All we want is to do our mandatory internship and be able to practice medicine as well as advance our careers through various masters programs, this can’t happen without a practicing license.
How come medical graduates have to strike year after year over the same issues.

Given the persistent issues of non-deployment and inadequate pay for medical interns, what have our seniors in the profession done in streamlining the medical profession? Genuinely asking 🤷🏽♂️
What specific actions have you taken to address these challenges, particularly in the context of the over 1100 stranded medical graduates?
We had previously engaged with the UMA to call for an industrial action, unfortunately this wasn’t granted. So @UMACentralb_Off , what’s the way forward?

What exactly became of this directive? We kept hopeful, thinking the persons responsible were going to act and revert to @ParliamentUG for a possible discussion on the supplementary budget. But to date, its only been silence. Now, what remains of this directive? @Thomas_Tayebwa
