Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>ZANZIBAR Minister for Health, Social Welfare, Elderly, Gender and Children Mr Nassor Ahmed Mazrui has called upon nurses and midwives in the country to stop being rude to patients at health facilities, because that tarnishes the health profession.<\/p>\n

Minister Mazrui told the nurses and midwives at their one- day conference held here that they must evaluate their performance.<\/p>\n

The conference was aimed at discussing and evaluating cadre\u2019s performance, in response to the President Hussein Mwinyi\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssess your performance and improve immediately\u2026there is public cry against some of you, a situation which needs to be addressed,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

Minister Mazrui explained that members of the public have long been concerned over unfriendly behavior of some nurses and midwives, when they are attending medical services.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the complaints are on the decline, this has been a chronic and long-term issue. Let us improve our reception for patients,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

Equally, Mr Mazrui said there has been improvement of the curriculum in health training, which has further stressed on job ethics and building good relations with people, who visit health facilities for treatments and consultations.<\/p>\n

In his speech, the minister said that the changes in curriculum have contributed to establishment of \u2018customer care service at Mnazi Mmoja Referral Hospital, minimizing complaints from the public.<\/p>\n

The nurses and midwives council Chairperson Ms Amina Abdul-Kadir Ali said that the council has been receiving many complaints against nurses and midwives about use of unfriendly language, which is contrary to ethics, regulations, and laws regarding medical professions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise members of the public to report and give evidence about nurses and midwives who violate their ethics and mistreat patients, so that it is easier to fight the bad habit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Ali said: \u201cAs Ms Arafa Mohamed Khamis, a nurse, said that \u201cOnly few of us show poor reception and treatment to patients, and not all nurses and midwives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
