Dear members of the public,
The medical fraternity is seeking your support. Your health and safety may be at risk due to this policy that want intern doctors working without pay.
Why should this concern you?
Intern doctors are a critical part of patient care. They often work long shifts, sometimes up to 36 hours, while handling emergencies, admissions, and ward duties. Expecting them to do this without any form of remuneration places immense physical, mental, and financial strain on them.
A demoralized and overworked workforce increases the risk of burnout, errors, absenteeism, and even unethical practices born out of desperation. Ultimately, it is the patient who bears the consequences.
This is not just a doctors' issue, it is a public health issue.
We therefore call upon all stakeholders and members of the public to raise their voices and support the call for fair treatment of intern doctors.
Say NO to unpaid internship. Protect healthcare. Protect patients.
