Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ganta United Methodist Hospital has resumed full operations following a recent staff protest that briefly halted its services. Hospital Administrator Allen Zomoway told the Daily Observer that all operations are back on track, with efforts underway to address any outstanding salary arrears for the staff.<\/p>\n

After negotiations with the management, the workers\u2019 union concluded their strike action on February 20, 2023. The strike began on February 16, 2024, due to a delay in settling two months’ worth of salaries, along with other grievances related to compensation and management conduct.<\/p>\n

During the negotiation, the workers\u2019 union outlined several issues, ranging from low salaries, the administrator\u2019s continued disrespect to the workers, salary advance, timely payment of salary, and other benefits.<\/p>\n

While the management cited financial challenges for not considering salary increments, they were committed to resolving the issues and ensuring timely payment of salaries going forward.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zomoway explained that normal work is going to the hospital, while the management is doing everything to meet its obligation, ensuring all the salary arrears are settled soon.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the hospital has introduced modern medical equipment, including an EKG machine and ultrasound machines, to facilitate enhanced heart and overall body examinations. The presence of advanced medical equipment aims to improve diagnostic capabilities within the hospital and reduce the need for patients to seek certain tests elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partner in Germany sent some medical pieces of equipment, including one \u2018EKG machine and two giant-size ultrasound machines,\u201d said Mr. Zomoway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have two portable ultrasound machines in this hospital, but these new types are more advanced and they can print images, similar to an X-ray machine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The \u2018EKG\u2019 machine is new in the hospital. It is mainly used to test the heartbeat, according to Zomoway.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany patients have been referred to other hospitals for \u2018EKG\u2019 tests, but we are happy to get one here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Administrator Zomoway highlighted the significance of these additions in enhancing healthcare services. Zomoway also appealed to the government to increase financial support to the hospital, emphasizing the hospital\u2019s crucial role in providing healthcare services to not only local communities but also individuals from neighboring countries. The plea for increased subsidy reflects the hospital\u2019s continued efforts to sustain its operations and serve a broader population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis hospital shouldn\u2019t only be considered as a faith-based hospital, because it serves people from across the Mano River basin, especially Guinea, Ivory Coast as well as other counties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intake from this hospital cannot sustain this hospital anymore, because not everybody who comes here can afford to pay their hospital bill,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
