In a bid to have very serious medical interns to train at various government health facilities, the health ministry is now preparing new guidelines for all medical interns across the country, among the new guidelines include pre-internship entry exams.

Acting director general duties in the health ministry, Prof. Anthony Mbonye.

According to the acting director general duties in the health ministry, Prof. Anthony Mbonye, the pre- entry exams will help sieve out the incompetent medical interns and not see the competent interns allowed to train at all government facilities who later will be taken on by government as full workers.

Prof. Mbonye adds that the country now chan out a huge number of medical practitioners who are sometimes not to the required standards and thus the need to have them examined before allowed to practice at any govt health facilities.

It should also be noted that the country has in the past week seen a series of demonstrations from intern medical students from Mulago and Gulu hospitals who claims that they have not been paid their allowance and yet they do the donkey work at these health facilities with the demonstrations paralyzing business at these health facilities.
