Botswana Nurses Union (BONU) has vowed to lobby nurses to stop working during odd hours if government is not willing to intervene against attacks on nurses during working hours.

The issue of violence against nurses is increasing, but government is not keen to implement what it had promised the union to do for nurses working late.

BONU president, Obonolo Rahube said they are going to seek court intervention on the matter.
