⁦⁦Well said @DailyMonitor⁩ ⁩The current stipends provided barely cover the interns' day-to-day expenses and can’t be considered true compensation for their invaluable work. It’s very absurd to even have a debate on this! ⁦@MinofHealthUG⁩ #DeployAllMedicalInterns

Why must professionals of such caliber, after spending 4-5years, acquiring skills relevant to providing healthcare, plead, protest, move from office to office, before they are deployed?! Very absurd! ⁦@KagutaMuseveni⁩ ⁦@Thomas_Tayebwa⁩ ⁦⁦@HerbertLuswata⁩ ⁩

For a country with a failing health system, it is sad that barely any efforts are exerted to fix the gaps. How could you possibly validate medical graduates sitting home; unable to practice because mandatory medical internship has been delayed #DeployAllMedicalInterns

Over 1,000 medical interns await deployment, caught in a budget tug-of-war. With the Health Ministry needing UGX18.8 billion and the Finance Ministry holding the purse strings, State Minister of Health -General Duties Anifa Kawooya says “something must be done”. #NTVNews

@MinofHealthUG shouldn't create an illusion that it's 743 SHOs who supervise Dr's, nurses, pharmacist, Dentists. The supervisors are enough for all professions. SHOs supervise Dr's only, 734 SHOs can supervise 2900 Dr's @JaneRuth_Aceng @ntvuganda @Thomas_Tayebwa @JoelSsenyonyi

LOP @JoelSsenyonyi: When we were making allocations during the budget process, in our alternative budget, we were saying can we focus more on healthcare and education but people were saying no, let's give money to ROKO and all of these unexplainable. #NBSUpdates

Replying to @mofpedU
@mofpedU a supplementary budget of 18.5bn is enough for this cause @MinofHealthUG Is just creating unnecessary backlogs @BalaamAteenyiDr @DianaAtwine @JaneRuth_Aceng @jessica_alupo @KagutaMuseveni @SemujjuNganda1 @SpireJim @Thomas_Tayebwa @rggoobi #DeployAllMedicallnterns
The Uganda Medical Association has expressed concern over the government's continued failure to deploy over 1,500 medical interns who qualified in 2023 and 2024. @BillclintonNuwe #NBSAt430 #NBSUpdates

"We will not tire in our demand for deployment" A section of medical interns were earlier today blocked from accessing Parliament to meet Speaker Anita Among. They intended to petition the Speaker regarding their delayed deployment and the urgent need for Shs18 billion supplementary budget to deploy all eligible medical degree holders for internship. #MonitorUpdates 📹: David Walugembe
