According to Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, the federal government has put together a negotiation team in an effort to end the strike and meet with the nurses’ leadership to find a solution.
He further expressed that the government is also working to address the unhappiness of other health professional groups and has been encouraged by the President to engage with all health workers to achieve lasting peace.
