Why is GoK Refusing to Post Medical Interns?


The Ministry of Health's delay in posting medical interns has been attributed to a significant funding gap of KES 4.9 billion, as disclosed by Health CS Susan Nakhumicha. The National Treasury is yet to disburse the necessary funds, hindering the implementation of the annual internship program.

Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), medical interns are entitled to higher earnings compared to new doctors, posing financial challenges for the ministry. Each intern is expected to earn KES 206,000 more than their counterparts, highlighting discrepancies in salary structures.

With 3,580 January graduates awaiting placement, the ministry faces pressure to resolve the funding issue promptly. Failure to secure the necessary funds may compel the ministry to revise internship policies, transitioning graduates directly from university studies to year-long hospital training to avoid gaps between graduation and job assignments.

CS Nakhumicha emphasised the urgency of releasing the funds, stating that once disbursed, medical interns would be posted without delay. Additionally, the ministry aims to ensure equitable earnings for interns nationwide, addressing disparities in compensation.

As stakeholders await action from the Treasury, the fate of medical interns hangs in the balance, underscoring the critical need for timely financial support to sustain the healthcare workforce.
