Uganda:Comment - Understanding the Doctors' Strike

[Independent (Kampala)] Ugandan doctors opted to strike over poor remunerations, which they say compromise their work ethic. The doctors' plight is understandable. Doctors in public facilities earn, on average, about US$300 per month. This level of abuse is unheard of anywhere in the world. In Kenya, the recent doctors' industrial action ended with a decent settlement where interns earn US$ 1,900 and the highest consultants earn about US$5600 a month.
