Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Health workers have been advised to rest after work to avoid running mad.<\/p>\n

Jinja Regional Referral Hospital Acting Director Dr Angela Namala expressed worry over the plight of the health workers who endure stressful conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why some health workers are running mad. The population believes they are drunkards and addicts, but it’s because of stress from the workplace,\u201d Dr Namala said.<\/p>\n

According to her, some medical workers are on the verge of running mad due to insufficient rest and deprivation of socialization time with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour health is very important, so try as much as possible to know your (health) conditions,\u201d Dr Namala said on Wednesday at an event to mark the International Nurses Day.<\/p>\n

She also tasked nurses on routine medical reviews as opposed to only dealing with patient diagnostics.<\/p>\n

An official from the ministry of health urged nurses to \u201caggressively lobby for their massive rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNurses are the backbone of any health system in the world,\u201d Ms Angela Ilakut, the Assistant commissioner in-charge of Butabika Referral Hospital who represented the commissioner Health Services, Nursing and Midwifery at the Ministry of Health, Sr Beatrice Amuge, said<\/p>\n

The Busoga Sub-region’s coordinator of Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union, Mr Michael Mugabo, called out government to pronounce its position on a landmark agreement signed in 2018 permitting increment of the health workers’ salary.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome July this year, we should have the figures reflected in individual accounts,\u201d Mr Mugabo said.<\/p>\n
