Stay At Home – Union Tells Health Workers

The Health Services Workers' Union has called for the immediate re-opening of negotiations for better remuneration packages for its members to stem the exodus of health workers. In a resolution adopted at the end of a meeting in Tema, the National Executive Council of the Union encouraged other health professionals, who had plans of seeking greener pastures to rescind their decision.

The resolution signed by Mr J.G. Akoto, General Secretary of the Union, urged all health workers to show more love and patriotism by staying in the country while the government deliberated on their conditions of service.

On SARS, it declared support for the government's move to monitor, prevent and also contain any possible outbreak of the disease.

The National Executive Committee renewed the commitment of its members to assist the Ministry of Health, the Ghana Health Service, the Teaching Hospitals and managements at all levels of health care delivery to render improved and efficient health care services to the people.
