The incident is part of a series of criminal activities targeting medical interns in the area.
In a letter to the Federation for Uganda Medical Interns (FUMI), a group of 20 doctors, 16 nurses, and 4 pharmacists detailed the horrifying experiences they faced during their first month of internship.
These include a male intern being attacked and robbed in his rental unit, as well as two female interns whose padlocks were broken but managed to avert robbery through screams for help.
In addition to the physical and sexual assaults, the interns expressed concern over the lack of security and accommodation facilities provided to them.
The interns called for immediate action to ensure their safety and efficient service delivery to patients.
In response, Dr. Bill Adrati, President of FUMI, emphasized the need for urgent intervention from local, regional, and national authorities to address the security and accommodation challenges faced by medical interns.
