The Ministry of Health, led by Nakhumicha Wafula, has expressed a commitment to promptly posting all doctor interns to their designated centers. This initiative aims to address a longstanding issue exacerbated by the increasing number of public and private training institutions, which has strained financial resources allocated to the internship program.
In recent years, delays in posting doctor interns have led to significant backlogs and recurring industrial actions within the health sector. These delays have been a focal point of recent negotiations, reflecting the urgent need to resolve this issue to ensure adequate staffing and operational efficiency within healthcare facilities.
Wafula emphasized the Ministry’s acknowledgment of the adverse effects caused by these delays on young doctors awaiting placement. Efforts are underway to mitigate these challenges and implement practical solutions that will streamline the internship posting process.
The Ministry’s commitment underscores the importance of efficiently managing healthcare workforce deployment to meet growing demands and maintain quality healthcare delivery across the country. As discussions and actions continue, stakeholders are hopeful that these efforts will alleviate longstanding concerns and foster a more responsive healthcare system capable of supporting both interns and the communities they serve.
