Makerere University administration has resolved to increase the medical fees from the initial Ush 10,000 to 50,000 to revamp
the university hospital operations.
According to Prof. Josaphat Byamugisha, the Director Makerere University Hospital, the money is to be paid each year by every student.
Makerere university students, by practice are mandated to pay a fee(formerly 10,000) any time before completion of their course of study.
Students in other universities such Kyambogo, Mbarara University of Science and Technology – MUST pay Shillings 50,000 in medical fees each semester.

University hospital should be revamped but is this a deal to raise medical fees five times and at once. This definitely catches students off guard, especially a lions share of ones being tight with budget. I suppose the state officials should involve.
