ARE DOCTORS IN UGANDA MODERN DAY SLAVES? | What Ought Podcast

Uganda's medical interns are speaking out — and the conversation can no longer be ignored.

In this episode, hosts Aloikin Praise Opoloje and Joshua Lawel Muhwezi sit down with Dr. Anyama ...Berliner to unpack the growing crisis surrounding Uganda's new medical intern policy. From poverty-level wages to grueling working conditions, we ask the uncomfortable question: Are we exploiting the very people we train to save lives?

We dive deep into what the new medical intern policy actually says and what it means for fresh graduates, the financial reality of being a medical intern in Uganda, how this policy compares to regional and global standards, the psychological and professional toll on young doctors, and what needs to change — and who has the power to change it.

This is not just a conversation about doctors. It's a conversation about how Uganda values its healthcare system, its workers, and ultimately, its patients.

Watch. Think. Engage.
