Its unfortunate Ministry of Health are habitual enemies to health system, how can an intern stay at home more than 1 year without posting letter, why always want to review their salaries downward? #18thNaMulongo #TunashukaNaMoh #FrustratedMedicalInterns Dr. Patrick Amoth, EBS Rt.Hon.Dr.Moses Wetang'ula


Here to remind ya'll that Dr Deborah Mlongo Barasa has been unable to post and pay medical interns as per the CBA 2017 ,something that has been happening seamlessly since eternity. She incompetent to the core. #18thNaMulongo #TunashukaNaMoh #FrustratedMedicalInterns
