Health workers at Mwanza district hospital have threatened to go on strike if their District Health Officer (DHO) will not release names of promoted nurses, Malawi24 has learnt.

Reports reaching Malawi24 indicate that the health workers’ letters of promotion were released last year but the DHO is holding them.

According to one of the workers, in other hospitals health workers have already received their letters.

Chikumbe: Has labeled the matter as minor.

However, Mwanza DHO Rafael Pilingu said the health workers are supposed to work in rural areas but they are refusing to take up their posts.

”The requirement is for them to work in rural areas but they do not want to work in the areas,” said Pilingu.

Spokesperson for the ministry of health Adrian Chikumbe said the issue is minor and it will be handled by Mwanza hospital.

He added that the DHO might have given the letters to health workers who are interested to work in rural areas.

  3. How does one go on a life threatening strike & expects to be promoted?! Are the promotions based on work performance or just salaries?!

  5. Why the Officer is hiding the names like he is the one who promote the workers? I think if something can happen to the lives of pantients he will be answerable.Why the govt is still keeping these harsh & Selfish bosses?

Let dem realise dat getting promoted is one thing and saving people’s lives is another thing.Let dem realise dat being a nurse is more or less like being pastor Bcos dey R both called 2 save pples lives & No matter how tough de curcumstances may be in deir work places,We always expect dem 2 respect deir call.So let dem know dat pples lives r more important dan deir own promotions.
