Finally, Govt’ has acknowledged that all medical interns require facilitation, and is now going to reinstate the 1m allowance per month to each medical intern. However, going forward, there ought to be a discussion on increasing the 1m, given the rising cost of living and inflation over the years. #KeepingTheGovtInCheck

After 8 years of Justin Trudeau, over 1/3 of seniors don’t have sufficient income to meet their needs and 1.5 million Canadians are going to food banks each month. Fighting inflation and lowering the cost of living is the Conservative Party’s number one priority. #cdnpoli

🇺🇬 TAYEBWA: THE TWO KEY INTERN DEMANDS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa says the two major issues medical interns raised have now been addressed. “We were demanding from the minister, one, that the interns should be paid. They reversed the decision, the interns are going to be paid.” “Number two, we are saying, the interns were demanding that they need to be allowed to graduate before they can do internship. And it has been resolved.”

The government has said that medical interns will be paid the same amount, UGX 1,268, 929 which is subject to tax resulting to a net pay of UGX 1 million. To me, this is only a short term solution. What happens to the upcoming cohorts? Shall medical interns have to go on strike every time just to get paid? We must end this cycle once and for all. Let the government scrap the National Health Policy that was sneaked in and come up with a properly drafted, permanent solution to the remuneration and welfare of medical interns. And let’s be clear: the demand is UGX 4 million, not UGX 1 million. We need a lasting solution, not temporary fixes every time doctors and interns protest.

🇺🇬The Medical interns debate is back on the floor. Leader of the Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi, MP for Nakawa West, has asked Government to drop the reported policy of suspending facilitation for medical interns. He says medical interns provide critical labour after completing their training and should not be expected to serve patients without support for basic needs such as accommodation and feeding. “How do you expect them to show up to take care of us, including us in this place?” Why it matters: the issue touches both health worker welfare and patient care, especially in public hospitals that rely on interns as part of frontline service delivery.

Lutnick: Tariffs are not inflation. It is outrageous that people think tariffs are inflation. What inflation means is I'm going to go buy this tie. And I know the tie is going to cost 30 bucks. But next year I think the tie is going to cost $33. And the year after it's going to cost $36. So I have in my head 10% inflation. If this tie is made in Italy and it's going to cost $31.50 now, so what, it's not going to change next year or the year after the year after…

Rep. Smith: One of the cornerstones of Trump's campaign was inflation is too high. Then he comes in and puts tariffs on everything. That's going to increase costs. Now, belatedly, he's figuring out that he set the house on fire, so maybe he ought to try to put it out. Trump has done literally nothing to help the high cost of living. And in most of those areas, he's actually gone the other way.

Today, the pre-medical interns who were denied deployment by government have filed a case against the Attorney general and DGHS Ministry of Health- Uganda in Kampala high court to challenge the decision against which these qualifying medical graduates were excluded. There is indeed no doubt that this decision was illogical, unfair and reckless. Our prayer is that the judges Judiciary Uganda review this decision and order for immediate deployment of all medical interns. Note that medical internship is key for full licensure as well as career advancement. Undeployment of medical interns puts our career at a standstill. #DeployAllMedicalInterns #PaidMedicalInternship

Principals of medical colleges across J&K are now threatening medical interns with termination if they don’t call off their peaceful strikes. Shameful how instead of addressing their genuine grievances the government is now blackmailing them. We stand with each & every medical intern & their right to a dignified livelihood.

Dr. Vin Gupta on new Medicaid changes: They know people are not going to be able to navigate the paperwork, the signatures, and the six-month recertification process. So what’s going to happen? Those who are on the fringes of medical care, on the fringes of maintaining a basic quality of life from a health care perspective, are going to suffer. They’re going to suffer, and they’re basically guaranteeing that people will fall off the rolls and that many people will suffer—and likely die—because of this policy.
