Uganda Medical Association calls for ban of Gravity’s ‘Doozi’ video on moral grounds

Uganda Medical Association (UMA) President Herbert Luswata has criticized local rapper Gravity Omutujju and singer Shakira Shakiraa for misrepresenting the medics’ outfit in their new music video titled “Doozi”.

Dr. Luswata stated that the footage paints a negative image of the doctor’s profession adding that it is a disgrace to the profession.

While addressing journalists, he disclosed that he is working with the medics chairman of ethics and professionalism Dr. Kaweru to draft a letter requesting the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to ban the song on moral grounds.

Dr. Luswata went ahead to claim that Gravity Omutujju’s video looked very ugly yet he was wearing a clinical coat portraying a bad image of the medical practitioners.

“There pictures of musicians which are circulating on social media which are not looking good at all whereby one of the musician holds a syringe look-alike while a woman is bending down in a way which is very uncomfortable and musician is putting on a clinical coat and he is portraying he is examining a woman who is bending down against him. It look ugly against us. As a profession, we feel like our profession and practice is being abused. It is as if these people are trying to portray that this is what we do to people’s women when they come to our examination rooms which is not good at all. Our chairman of ethics and professionalism Dr. Kaweru is working on a letter that we are going to send to UCC to ban the song on moral grounds. We are sorry to the musicians”, Dr. Herbert Luswata

This is the first time the medics association has accused an artist of abusing their outfit. This move will from now onwards bar entertainers from using the medic’s outfit just anyhow as they will start to respect it.
