Nurses
across Swaziland are taking part in a ‘go-slow’ and picketing as their relationship with government has broken down.
It comes
after hundreds of nurses marched to
petition the
Prime Minister on Wednesday (18 October 2017).
Nurses believe they have been victimised over
incidents at health facilities that are not their fault. At the centre of the
dispute is the Emkhuzweni Health Centre where they say nurses were unfairly
singled out and blamed when a birth delivery went wrong in 2015.
They say
the Swazi Government has failed to respond to their concerns a number of times.
Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU) President
Bheki Mamba said patient services would be affected at all the health facilities across
the kingdom.
