Government has called for an end to all protests by nurses and midwives in Lusaka.
This follows resolutions made yesterday in a meeting held between government and the health sector unions.
This is contained in a press statement availed to Breeze News by the Public Service Division, Permanent Secretary, Velepi M’tonga.
Ms. Mtonga says that government has noted with regret the on-going protest by nurses and midwives in Lusaka and is aware that the protests relate to anomalies in the implementation of the revised salaries, especially Salary Grade F and G.
