“On the 11th of November 2018, while students were sitting their UCE exams, that school was set on fire. A total of ten students died. Thirty-six students suffered irreversible injuries the majority of them cannot recover from them.
Three were students who had been suspended from their hostels before the fire. The fourth was a businessman arrested because, when police searched his home, they found clothes belonging to two of the students. That was the story.
At the time of his release, he had spent seven years, eleven months and twenty-two days in prison just eight days short of eight full years. All because police found clothes belonging to the other accused at his home.”

What happens when medicine, internship and the State collide? What are the rights, responsibilities and realities facing doctors and interns?
Join us as we unpack these questions with Dr. Frank Asiimwe Rubabinda.

A country can survive many arguments. It cannot afford to get medicine wrong.
Uganda is producing more doctors while hospitals continue to need them. Yet young doctors are still caught in battles over internship, pay, working conditions and what happens after training. That is not an internal quarrel within the profession. It concerns every Ugandan, because every family will eventually depend on a doctor.
On this week’s #JSCConversations, I sit down with Dr Frank Rubabinda Asiimwe, President of the Uganda Medical Association, Consultant Urologist and Transplant Surgeon.
We will confront the intern doctors’ crisis, doctors’ pay, brain drain, medical negligence, the duties doctors owe patients, the obligations the State owes doctors, and the larger question beneath all of it:
Can Uganda build a health system worthy of the people who depend on it?
THE DOCTOR, THE INTERN AND THE STATE.
Join us.

Eleven years in, some of the most important progress and the most persistent gaps happen in communities that rarely make the news.
That's the gap our MCI SDGs Media Van (#MCIMediaVan) was built to close in partnership with @KasUganda .
The #SDGs turn 11 today!
At MCI, we believe storytelling is one of the best tools we have to track that progress and hold the world accountable to it. 🌍
Which #SDGS do you think need the most attention right now? Share with us in the replies section.

Media is becoming a powerful driver of tourism and the 5th edition of the Rwenzori Marathon proved exactly that. 🏃🏾♂️⛰️
With World Athletics streaming the marathon live and commentators bringing the experience to audiences beyond Uganda, the event reached thousands of people.
This visibility created opportunities for local businesses, tourism sites and the region’s wider economic growth.
