Doreen Nyanjura Condemns Scrapping of Medical Intern Allowances, Warns of Deepening Health Crisis

Former Kampala Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyanjura has strongly criticised the Ugandan government following reports that medical intern allowances have been withdrawn, warning that the move could worsen pressure on the country’s already strained public health system.

The controversy comes amid ongoing disputes over funding for medical interns and other trainee health workers, including Senior House Officers, with concerns over inconsistent payments and tightening government allocations.
