This has helped ensure that important areas like emergency care, maternity, and intensive care remain open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the Union being on strike, most services, especially the emergency, are continuing because we have nurses who did not participate in the strike, others who are recently hired, and some who have covered during this period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe assured the public that any emergencies are still taken care of despite the fact that the strike is ongoing,\u201d the CEO stated.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that the hospital obtained a court order declaring the strike illegal and unprotected, urging the striking nurses to return to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did approach at court, and now we have orders, and the strike is illegal, secured, or protected.
