The leader of the group, Chisomo Ndaladi, expressed that paying a nurse a wage below K 150 ,000 due to temporary employment status is a significant form of disrespect.
According to Ndaladi, some nurses were previously hired on a temporary basis and are currently receiving very low wages. He emphasized that they are seeking employment under fair and proper conditions, rather than through structures that exploit them.
In December of last year, the government hired nurses and other healthcare aides on a temporary basis, supported by the Global Fund. However, these temporary positions have not provided adequate job security or fair compensation.
The group, which includes over 1,000 unemployed nurses, is advocating for the government to offer them stable employment with salaries that reflect their essential contributions to the healthcare sector.
