President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has asserted that the government does not have enough money to facilitate medical interns.
President Museveni made the remarks on Saturday 24th August, 2024 while delivering a lecture of opportunity to 210 post-medical interns who had completed their 10-day patriotism and ideological training at the National Leadership Institute (NALI), Kyankwanzi.
The meeting took place at State House, Entebbe.
“Why don’t we agree that a person who has qualified as a medical doctor after five years in the medical school, continues with the internship but with sponsorship from the person who sponsored him in the first place? What is the problem? If someone was sponsoring you for five years, why does he stop now?”- President Museveni
The President’s proposal comes at a time when a good number of medical interns are stuck over delay by the government to release funds for them to start their internship.
