The Ministry of Health has been instructed to bring a statement explaining why some medical interns have not been deployed for internship training.

The instruction has been given by the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa who directed the Minister of Health Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng to bring a statement explaining why some medical interns have been asked to sit home for another year, pending their deployment to various health facilities for their internship training, yet they are the same people whose studies were disrupted following the closure of education institutions, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While in Parliament today, Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa said he has received several complaints from medical intern students complaining of their delayed deployment hence speaker directed Minister Aceng to come with a statement on Tuesday next week explaining much about this issue.
