The premier said the gap was the one that caused the constant conflict between Government and Swaziland Nurses Association (SNA).<\/p>\n<p>Dlamini said he understood that, when he launched the NLI, he met with the senior nurses, yet he also wanted to meet the junior nurses. He wanted this because he believed there was a gap between the two sets of nurses. In his view, Dlamini said the gap was largely on purpose \u2013 finding one\u2019s purpose, knowing one\u2019s purpose, as well as living one\u2019s purpose, as a nurse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe there is a need to strengthen the purpose of the nursing profession, hence the need to close the gap between the junior and the senior cadre,\u201d Dlamini said. \u201cThe gap has consistently led to a conflict between Government and the nurses\u2019 association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister stated that such challenges were cheating Emaswati of the quality services they were supposed to get from the nurses. \u201cWhilst we are proud of having qualified nurses, who are the best in Africa and probably the world, not all of the citizens of the country are getting the dividends of that,\u201d he said. He called for nurses and Government to tackle the root cause of this problem to be dealt with once and for all. He said treating the symptoms of this problem would not help, but uprooting the real problem was the one that would help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
