Nurses and midwives in the country have threatened to lay down their tools next week unless the government takes steps to find postings for unemployed graduate nurses and midwives.
In a press statement issued on August 31, the Coalition of Concerned Nurses and Midwives state, “some of these nurses and midwives who are professionally trained to save lives have now resorted to kayayoo [head potter] and security work [watchman], whiles patients are dying day-in and day-out due to lack of staffs in our hospitals.”
The statement, signed by its President, Henry Asante, also urged the government to put newly constructed health facilities to use to bring down the number of unemployed nurses and midwives across the country.
Read the full statement below.
PRESS STATEMENT ISSUED BY COALITION OF CONCERNED NURSES AND MIDWIVES ON 31ST AUGUST, 2018 IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE UNEMPLOYED NURSES AND MIDWIVES
By this press statement, we concerned nurses and midwives want to bring to the attention of the government, and the media, our intention to embark on a strike action on 10th September, 2018 over the refusal of the government to postgraduate trained nurses and midwives who have completed school for over two years, despite the numerous picketing and demonstration by these nurses and midwives.
It's worth knowing that, some of these nurses and midwives who are professionally trained to save lives have now resorted to kayayoo and security work (watchman), whiles patients are dying day-in and day-out due to lack of staffs in our hospitals.
Also, we have observed with keen interest that newly constructed health facilities are not being utilized due to the refusal of the government to employ these nurses and midwives to work in these facilities.
The aforementioned reasons have compelled we the coalition of concern nurses and midwives to embark on this strike action.
Thank you.
Cc. Ministry of health All media houses.
Signed by
President, Henry Asante

Source:  Forbes | Michelle Martin When retired American couple, Dr. Whitman Jones and his wife Paula created  The Center for Emerging Futures , a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing some of the most difficult situations that humans face, they didn’t realize they would also be launching an innovative fashion brand soon thereafter. After visiting Israel and seeing the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians firsthand, Jones began looking for ways to facilitate peaceful connections that could transcend the conflict. Given the skill sets of women in the region, Jones had the idea to bring Israeli seamstresses and designers together with Palestinian embroiderers to create a high-end fashion collection that could create jobs and highlight talents from both sides of the conflict.

The Nerazzurri inflicted a 1-0 defeat on the French giants via Lautaro Martinez’s 52nd-minute strike at the Stadio Via del Mare. “Lautaro [Martinez] and [Mauro] Icardi with Nainggolan? We’ll have lots of matches to play and we need to manage for all of them,” Spalletti said. “Lautaro knows what to do on the ball, he has the right attitude for every type of situation and he knows how to play as an advanced midfielder. “For the goal, Icardi showed extraordinary movement. Dalbert is showing he’s in excellent shape in pre-season. “We have a lot of options up front but thankfully there are lots of matches.
