Should Medical interns be fighting for allowances just to continue saving the lives of the common man while being initiated into independent medical practice?

The talk today is about Ebola, yet in actual sense these same interns are receiving patients who have not even been screened, risking their own lives in the process. This shouldn’t have been a topic of discussion in a country that prioritizes health

Which country does the Ministry of Health benchmark such policies from?

Dr. Chris Baryomusi said that the government is going to provide lunch to medical interns.
Well, it's good that they now recognize that interns deserve something. However, medical interns need more than lunch.
They need:
1. Breakfast
2. Lunch (which is being provided)
3. Dinner
4. Transport
5. Airtime
6. Clothes
7. Rent
8. General upkeep, among other necessities.
They are not slaves. They need money to survive, support their families, send some to their girlfriends, and occasionally unwind and forget the stress of hospital work with a bottle of whiskey.
Give them money. #PayAllMedicalInterns

All interns work on the same patients.
Patient conditions won’t segregate the intern to find on a duty station

Do patient conditions segregate between the privately sponsored or govt sponsored? Shall we have different patients seen by the two categories??

Hon. Chris Baryomunsi has cleared the air on reports that the government has scrapped medical interns’ allowances, saying the allowances have not been fully removed as widely reported.
“The students who are on government sponsorship, like those at Makerere, Mbarara, Gulu, and Kabale universities, will proceed with their internships with full support from the government.”

The public sees medical interns as young medics serving patients; government sees them as free labour to be deployed, mercilessly used and thereafter dumped in a jobless market.

Greatness awaits him!
🔥Meet @ivaan256 who scooped the Distinguished Research Award @Makerere_Medics with 31 publications before his MBChB grad!
🔥How do you expect him to work for free in his internship?
NB: @Makerere requires 8 publications for professorship.

🚨 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.

Five years of hard work, sacrifice, and growth culminated in a memorable Finalists’ Dinner. As one journey comes to an end and another begins, we celebrate a victory well earned even amid the shadows cast by the internship policy. The future remains ours to shape. 🩺🧑⚕️ @MakMedics

EVEN THE MORTUARY WON'T TOUCH THIS POLICY WITH A TEN FOOT STICK.
REJECTE AND RETURN TO SENDER

WITH CHARGES
Good morning @GiftGrace01 and @KwikirizaNova
Kindly note that many interns on X will be without their living allowances in the next year.
Their plight matters too.

The health of the public is in the hands of these medical interns who are the first point of care at hospital emergencies and wards. This is not a medical concern but a concern for the whole public.
Pay medical interns!
Intern doctors are not students.
Unpaid medical internship is modern-day slavery.
Hungry and angry interns are a danger to the patients.
The @MinofHealthUG should consider proper renumeration of ALL interns under the new National Education and Training for Health Policy.
