Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Over sixty medical interns deployed to Juba Teaching Hospital have gone on strike for more than a week over alleged bad working conditions, their representative said.<\/p>\n

The medical students laid done their tools on Saturday, August 5, while demanding an increment in their incentives.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoctors laid down their tools because of incentive issues,\u201d Dut David, one of the medical practitioners, told Eye Radio in a phone interview on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mr. David accused the hospital administration of uttering harsh remarks at them despite their \u201chard work\u201d and dedication to serve patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is the work of the nation, we\u2019re serving this country and we\u2019re supposed to be appreciated. We don\u2019t want to be rich. We\u2019re not even demanding the administration with a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe little we\u2019re requesting is for maintenance, transport fares, and for our soap. The administration is not doing it. We\u2019ve been engaging them for a long without a reply on time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way they could respond is very harsh and threatening. So, we decided better to lay down our tools such that the administration of the hospital can continue with the work if they think we are not that very important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dut said patients in the hospital have been mostly relying on the students for medication.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients are there in the wards, and medications are not given. Even the nurses that they\u2019re saying are working, they\u2019re not working.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it in fact don\u2019t very good for a doctor to see to see our patients suffering but these conditions have been imposed on us by the administrations with those harsh words without being appreciated while doing work, someone need be to be appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Akon Bhel, the Deputy Director for Accident and Eminencies at Juba Teaching Hospital also confirmed the strike in an interview with Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

He appeals to intern doctors to resume work, adding that he will take up their complaints to ensure they get their incentives.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy request is, I need the intern doctors to resume their duties, and then what they\u2019re demanding we\u2019ll try to resolve these issues administratively. This is the way because there\u2019s no other way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demands of our interns, we all know the situations of demands all over the world and including South Sudan is not new to us they\u2019ve to accept the reality to come and resume their work, and we\u2019ll push communications until they get the small incentive. This is my advice.\u201d<\/p>\n
