Federal Government has expressed commitments to address the concerns of Nurses and Midwives to keep them happy and boost service delivery.
Presidentual adviser on health, Salma Anas-Kolo while speaking on efforts to improve healthcare, maternal and child health, promised that government would resolve issues raised by the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, to encourage the medics to put in their best.
Association members had staged protests in Abuja and Lagos to express their displeasure over what they described as an attempt to hinder their freedom to pursue career opportunities.
They specifically urged the nursing regulatory council to address concerns bordering on welfare, salary scale, staff shortages and other rights.
Salma-Kolo, while promising to look into the concerns, said that government would strive to improve the working environment and welfare of healthcare workers in the country.
