Via 7sur7.cd: Butembo: End of nurses' strike and resumption of preventive activities on Monday. The Google translation:
Preventative activities such as vaccination, antenatal and preschool counseling for children suspended for security reasons in the health zones of Katwa and Butembo, resume this Monday, June 24, 2019.
This decision was taken Sunday, June 23, by the inter-union nurses grouped in the SOLSICO (Solidarity Union of nurses and nurses of the Congo) and SYNCASS (National Union of Executives, Agents and employees of the service sectors) at an extraordinary general meeting.
The followers of Florence justify the lifting of the strike by the noticeable reduction of rebel attacks against the Ebola Treatment Centers and the threats of death against the medical staff.
The inter-union nurses pool Butembo requests payment in full of their risk premiums. In a letter addressed to the provincial government of North Kivu, these trade unionists give a 15-day moratorium to the governor of province to overcome this problem otherwise, they say "we will again move to large-scale actions".
It should be noted that the resumption of preventive activities related to the vaccination of children takes place in Butembo health centers after about a month of suspension.
