Nurses give govt ultimatum

Stories Howard Mavuso
THE Swaziland Nurses Association (SNA) has given government a 14-day ultimatum to sort the drug shortage problem or they will stop work.
This was contained in the petition that was delivered at the ministry of health yesterday. Minister of Health and Social Welfare Njabulo Mabuza received the petition. The petition alleged that government and the ministry seemed to be conveniently ignoring the fact that the right to health is a fundamental right without which the people of Swaziland cannot enjoy the right to life and decent living conditions.
