🚨 REVISE THE POLICY. PROTECT THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE.
Medical interns are not students—they are healthcare providers delivering essential services to Ugandans every day.
Unpaid internship is unacceptable
Exploitation is not training.
A system that expects interns to work tirelessly without adequate support risks not only the welfare of interns but also the safety of the patients they serve.
MUMSA stands united with medical students countrywide in demanding that the Ministry of Health revises the internship policy, restores fairness and dignity to medical training, and invests in the future of Uganda's healthcare workforce. Support interns. Protect patients. Strengthen healthcare.
