Mr. President @KagutaMuseveni even with all government doctors working 24/7, we still have a huge shortage of doctors in government health facilities. You should request for a report on the status of doctors in all government health facilities across thw country. Interns come in to supplement. A medical intern spends 5 years in a medical school to get a Bachelor's degree ( MBCHB). In comparison with a three year bachelor's degree programme that would be an equivalent of Bachelor's and master's degree. Check how much a scientist with a three Bachelor's degree is paid in government. Paying a medical intern with MBCHB ugx 2.5M is small change. One would call it under employment. Interns are not students, they hold MBCHB. Simcerely the people around you are telling you lies. For the good of the country, let us pay all medical interns. If need be let us reduce on the money for government student loans and pay medical interns. It's just one year. But we have a lot of money to pay A-level holders over ugx 60M per month on top of ugx 300M for a car and other benefits. So how can we fail to pay medical interns. We should have our priorities right. These medical interns are our future doctors. Nobody knows whom we shall meet in the hospital a few years from now. The interns we neglect today may be the same future Doctors to save our lives tomorrow. So we stand with medical interns. At times it takes sacrifice to achieve a long term solution. So I advise interns for remain united and fight together for the welfare of all. No retreat no surrender. You have the support of Ugandans from all walks of life. Yours is a just cause. Fight till the end.
