The nurses’ strike enters its fourth month next week, a significant period given the monumental and critical task this workforce plays both for the economy on the one hand and the society’s well-being and health on the other.
Over this time, most public hospitals have been closed and the few open ones are running emergency services only administered by a skeleton staff of a few doctors and clinical officers until last week. The latter group has since also gone on strike, meaning only doctors are on duty in public hospitals currently.
