Acute Shortage of nurses and midwives in the health sector poses a serious challenge to management of patients in the country, National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives has said.
He said, “We are here to celebrate the nurses and midwives week, a day set aside to celebrate nurses and midwives all over the world. So we are at Dutse Alhaji market to celebrate with the men and women in this market. And as we usually do, we seize this opportunity to give back to the society. Responding to a question on the cause of high mortality in the country, Yusuf said: “Of course we are having high mortality rate in the country because most of the midwives and nurses have retired and are not working, so we do not have enough of them in the hospitals to attend to pregnant women in labour.
“We are also calling for the formulation of good policies for the nurses and midwives as well as the health sector, generally. We also deserve good recognition.”
