The Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria has urged the Federal Government and States across the country to give special priority to motivating health workers and provide the necessary protective equipment to shield them from the deadly coronavirus .
He advised its member to apply wisdom in attending to patients and observe all known protocols to ensure that they stay safe. “They should see every patient as a suspected COVID-19 carrier but be polite when dealing with such patients, unless proved otherwise.” “MHWUN therefore, advice the federal and states governments to make available more testing and isolation centres to accommodate more people in case the unwanted happens.“They also need to provide large quantities of Personal Protective Equipment and other consumables to health workers at all levels to enable them do their work professionally. This is important because the health worker is not on a ‘kamikaze’ mission, hence must be alive and healthy before he/she can save other lives.
“We, therefore call on the FG to further demonstrate her compassion, commitments and appreciation of the sacrifice of the health workers by ordering the release of all withheld salaries of health workers.”
