Medics under their umbrella body the Uganda Medical Association (UMA) have asked government to intervene and stop the release of a video by singer Gereson Wabuyi alias Gravity Omutujju.
They say the song’s video is tarnishing the medical profession’s image.
“There are pictures of which are trending on social media which are not looking good at all. In the video, some musician is holding something which is looking like a syringe and holding a woman bending down in a way which is very uncomfortable. This musician is putting on a clinical coat and a stethoscope and he’s portraying to be examining a woman who is bending down against him and it looks ugly against us,” UMA president, Dr. Herbert Luswata told journalists on Monday.
They said the use of use of medical equipment like the stethoscope in the obscene song and video undermines the medical profession.
Uganda Medical Association said it is soon writing to the Uganda Communications Commission to ask that the said song is banned from being played on Ugandan airwaves.
“We demand that the entertaining industry ceases misusing our clinical coats and stethoscopes as this undermines the professionalism of our medical community and erodes public trust.”
