Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Wednesday asked doctors and other health professionals on strike to \u201creturn to hospitals\u201d, noting that the interruption of services leads to \u201csuffering of the population\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo back to the hospital, go back to the emergency room, to the laboratory, get behind the wheel of the ambulance and treat your, our fellow citizens\u201d, asked the Mozambican head of state.<\/p>\n

Filipe Nyusi was speaking today at the launch of the National Culture Festival in Matola, on the outskirts of Maputo.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican National Health System is facing a crisis provoked by strikes by employees, first called by the Medical Association of Mozambique (AMM), against salary cuts and lack of payment for overtime, and later by the Association of United and Solidarity Health Professionals de Moc\u0327ambique (APSUSM), which demands better working conditions for other professionals as well.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican President asked that dialogue be maintained with a view to \u201cquickly finding joint and feasible solutions to the country\u2019s reality\u201d and without harming either party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to hear tomorrow that our brothers are working together with us\u201d, stressed Nyusi, acknowledging that the demands of professionals , in addition to solving their own problems, are to \u201csolve the problems of communities, when they talk about working conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nyusi reiterated that patients \u201care suffering\u201d and need health services, saying he has \u201cfaith and hope\u201d that his message has reached health professionals<\/p>\n

Mozambican doctors approved on Sunday a new strike period of 21 days, the third consecutive one since July 10, directly appealing to the President, Filipe Nyusi, to end the current crisis that is paralyzing hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to extend the strike for another 21 days, in the manner in which we had been exercising previously, of course, with the provision of minimum services so that our population does not suffer anymore\u201d, announced the president of the AMM, Milton Tatia, at the end of the assembly- general in Maputo.<\/p>\n

Also on Sunday, Mozambican health workers \u2013 around 65,000 servants, technicians and nurses \u2013 began a 21-day general strike, maintaining only minimal services in maternity wards, nurseries and emergencies.<\/p>\n

They demand from the Government that the claims of the sector be satisfied, including those of the medical class, as announced on Saturday by the president of APSUSM, nurse Anselmo Muchave.<\/p>\n

Among the demands placed on the Government are \u201cproviding medication\u201d to hospitals, which have to be purchased by patients, the acquisition of hospital beds, solving the \u201clack of food and adequate food\u201d in health units, equipping ambulances with emergency for rapid life support, non-disposable personal protective equipment, whose lack of supply is \u201cforcing workers to buy out of their own pocket\u201d.<\/p>\n
