Mkutano wa dharura uliofanyika kati ya Chama Cha madaktari wa Uganda na Waziri Mkuu wa Nchi hiyo umeshindwa kufikia makubaliano
Mkutano huo uliohudhuriwa na Waziri Mkuu Ruhakana Rugunda na Uongozi wa Chama cha madaktari kwenye ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu jijini Kamapala
Madaktari hao awali walikuwa wamekutana na waziri wa fedha lakini mkutano huo pia uliisha bila maafikiano
Kiongozi wa Chama cha Madaktari Dr Ekwaru Obuku amesema mgomo huo utaisha kwa muda mfupi tu endapo itasuluhisha tatizo la posho, kuboresha mazingira ya kufanya kazi ya madaktari waliopo mafunzoni na maslahi yao pamoja na malipo kwa madaktari waandamizi
Mgomo huo leo Jumatano umeingia siku ya tatu na madaktari wote wa hospitali za umma hawajahudhuria kazini
========================================================
An emergency meeting that was convened to convince the striking doctors to end their industrial action ended in a deadlock.
The Tuesday meeting was attended by Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda, the leadership of Uganda Medical Association at the Prime Minister's Office in Kampala.
According to Dr Ekwaru Obuku, the president of UMA, their team was led by his deputy, Prof. Pauline Byakika. He said the meeting, however, was inconclusive.
The doctors had earlier met officials of the Ministry of Finance, which meeting also ended in a deadlock.
However, he also indicated that they would review the mechanisms of implementing the strike, the day they meet President Museveni on November 17.
Dr Obuku says the strike can only end in short term if government resolves issues of duty facilitation allowances, fixes intern doctors' working conditions and welfare as well as payments for senior house officers.
He said the general assembly of their association I the only organ that can call off the strike through a vote.
Meanwhile, the strike on Wednesday entered the third with all doctors in government health centres staying away from work.
Currently, midwives, nurses and other paramedical officers who did not join the strike are manning the health facilities.
Patients feel pinch
Soroti: Victims who sustained injuries during the drama that ensued on Monday between police and supporters of Opposition activist Kizza Besigye had not got treatment at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital as the doctors' strike entered second day.
Mr Dan Ekochu, one of the injured, by yesterday morning, had not received medical attention as senior medical officers left the work to intern doctors. Another victim only identified as Fred was transferred to a private orthopedic centre. The hospital administrator, Dr Paul Ajuk, said they were handicapped. Asked whether they were on strike, he said: "Just move around and witness what is going on, I cannot comment on that because it's a highly political thing."
