Over 100 nurses' contracts not renewed

The Ministry has not renewed contracts for over 100 temporary nurses across the country, Mmegi has learnt. 

“The Ministry has not given reasons why it cannot absorb or renew those nurses’ contracts during this time where there is shortage in hospitals and clinics. Our nurses have been working long hours due to shortage in the hospitals and clinics. The contracts for the nurses employed under COVID-19 have been terminated or not renewed for unknown reasons.
