Detaining Doctors that save lives, who were having a peaceful march is shameful. @MinofHealthUG leaders @PoliceUg have no shame. #UGdrsIA2021

Another young doctor lost in the span of 2 days! It's with a heavy heart that we announce the untimely passing of Dr. Kasule Steven, a humble, young, and dedicated doctor who has been undergoing medical internship at Mulago NRH. May his soul rest in peace!

Uganda Medical Association has always engaged with the President @KagutaMuseveni through formal, professional ways including appreciating him through our Annual Awards. The act of kneeling by @dr_oledo and the team doesn’t represent Modus Operandi of the Association.

It saddens to kneel and beg for better healthcare in a country where we strive to save lives every day. #UgDrsIA2021

We demand that @PoliceUg unconditionally releases these doctors with immediate effect These Junior colleagues have been home for more than 9mo. Medical Interns & Senior House Officers contribute to 70% of the work force in public hospitals #DeployInterns #UgandaHealthExhibition

Comrades, Compatriots, Colleagues! This picture is worth a thousand words. Words, however, which cannot be spoken as the pain is simply too much! Never again should our Medical tadpoles, nymphs and very delicate young professionals be subjected to this humiliating experience 1/3

We deeply mourn the passing of our dear colleague, Dr. Amaro Rwot Lea Ssemwanga. A dedicated doctor, a young wife, and a hopeful mother, her loss is heartbreaking. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Dr. Ssemwanga, and all who loved her. Dr. Amaro, rest in peace 🙏

We thank @MinofHealthUG for ensuring that Interns are finally deployed. Medical Interns are a strong pillar in the Health workforce. There’s need to ensure there’s continued flow and deployment of Medical interns upon completion of their Medical school studies.
