Nurses and midwives play an essential role in patient care. When they are not available, it results in severe morbidities and avoidable deaths,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the need for a holistic review of the health sector to address the root causes of such strikes, adding that the current piecemeal approach is unsustainable.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cThe health workforce is made up of various professional groups. Solving the concerns of one group without addressing the broader needs only creates room for another group to lay down their tools,\u201d Dr. Sandaare stated. \u201cWe need a well-structured, all-encompassing policy that ensures equity and long-term stability across the sector.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reacting to suggestions that health workers should be recruited under a security service model to prevent them from striking, Dr. Sandaare rejected the idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe the solution lies in militarizing the health workforce. Ghana trains some of the best health professionals in the world. What we need is to create an environment where they are adequately motivated, resourced, and respected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that while security-style training may help instill discipline during professional development, it should not form the basis of health worker recruitment or management.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sandaare also touched on the increasing emigration of Ghanaian health workers, attributing it to poor working conditions and lack of motivation.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7661\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nurses-1-768x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nurses-1-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nurses-1-768x512-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nurses-1-768x512-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen our nurses and doctors go abroad, they excel. It\u2019s not about discipline. It\u2019s about the systems they work in. If we want to retain them, we must fix those systemic issues here,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Appealing directly to striking nurses and midwives, the MP acknowledged their right to demand better conditions of service but urged them to consider the plight of patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have every right to bargain. But I appeal to them to think of the ordinary Ghanaian who walks into a hospital and finds no nurse to attend to them. People are dying needlessly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further urged all stakeholders \u2013 including the government, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Ministry of Health \u2013 to engage the nurses in good faith to reach a lasting solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNegotiations can and must continue, but lives should not be lost in the process. Let us find a path forward that prioritizes both the welfare of health workers and the health of the nation,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sebastian Sandaare, Deputy Chairman of the Parliament\u2019s Health Committee and MP for Daffiama-Bussie-Issa, has called for a comprehensive health policy to address the persistent [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
