29 March 2020
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] is elated by the good work by our members and workers in the healthcare sector during our collective fight against the spread of COVID-19.
Throughout the country our members and workers who are on the frontline of testing, quarantining and treating those have contracted the virus have been working tirelessly towards ending the spread of the virus. They go beyond the call of duty under adverse conditions which includes work over-load, exhaustion, limited public transport, inadequate training, intermittent supply of PPE’s and even life-threatening circumstances. However, workers continue to work tirelessly to stem the tide against COVID-19.
NEHAWU encourages all its members and workers in the healthcare sector to continue the fight and not tire until the battle against the corona virus is won. In this regard, we call on government to ensure the following to make the job of health workers easy:
· Ensure steady and sufficient supply of PPE’s and sanitisers even for healthcare workers who are not in the isolations wards including all nurses, doctors, cleaners, dispensary clerks, reception and porters
