Govt to Deploy 1,900 Medical Interns by Next Month

The government will deploy a total of 1,901 medical interns to the 58 internship centres across the country.

The Director of General Health Services, Dr Henry Mwebesa, said the government will deploy the interns within the available budget at a net monthly allowance of UGX 1,000,000 per intern.

Each of the interns will earn a monthly allowance of Shs1 million to facilitate accommodation and feeding.

All medical interns are expected to report to their various training centres by August 3, 2023.

According to Mwebesa, the respective hospital directors will issue the interns with respective deployment letters and organise for their induction.

He said the Ministry of Health has released the deployment list for the interns under revised terms as advised by the government.

“The delayed deployment was occasioned by factors beyond the control of the Ministry of Health,” he said.
