Our healthcare system risks being plunged into a crisis. This is after doctors and clinicians separately issued strike notices. Both have listed grievances they want addressed immediately, failure to which they will paralyse operations in hospitals. Strikes by doctors and clinical officers are eventualities we can ill afford, especially now that our healthcare system is overrun by Covid-19 and other patients.
Clinicians have issued a seven-day strike notice while doctors have given a 21-day notice. Both cadres of health workers complain of poor working conditions and lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against Covid-19. They want the government to hire additional doctors and clinical officers to improve delivery of healthcare.
