KMPDU SG Davji Atellah opposes recent internship posting by MoH

This is after MoH released a communiqué on the posting of 3,759 interns for the 2024/25 financial year and will be deployed on June 1, 2024, once the 2023/24 interns exit their respective workstations.

In a post on X, Monday evening, Atellah said that a meeting held between KMPDU and MoH had resolved that the new cohort of interns would be posted by the end of February 2024.

"The decision by the ministry to unilaterally vary the intern posting agreement is met with strong opposition. This move seems to undermine the resolutions established in January and challenges the integrity of the entire process," he wrote.

He further questioned the legitimacy of MoH's statement, arguing that no recent meeting has been held as had been earlier stated by the health ministry.
