He said because of the confidential nature of health worker-patient interactions, the department could not place security guards inside consulting rooms and operating theatres.

“We would like to call on patients to stop attacking staff because there will be no one to help them if our nurses and doctors are too scared to treat them,” he said.Kupelo also said the protest was about more than Saturday’s incident. He said the nurses were debriefed and “we realised now they are raising issues that are not related”. He appealed to nurses to return to work.
