NEHAWU Wishes DENOSA A Successful 9th National Congress
Tuesday March 25, 2025
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] wishes its sister union, the Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa [DENOSA] a successful and productive 9th National Congress convened as from today, the 25th until 28th March 2025 in Birchwood Hotel, Boksburg.
The National Congress is convened under the theme “Promoting Organisational Growth through Innovative Practices towards Resilient Quality Healthcare and Effective Member Servicing.”
Indeed, the congress takes place at a time where workers are faced with a new escalation of miseries, pains and suffocations that threatens their historic gains and meagre livelihoods; and by implication, the working class in its entirety as a result of the implementation of neo-liberal policies of austerity by the government. As a result of the austerity programme of government, the public healthcare system is understaffed and the quality of service delivery is compromised.
The congress presents DENOSA with an opportunity to grapple with various pertinent matters affecting the state of our healthcare system more important of nurses such as education and training, transformation of the nursing profession amongst others and develop a concrete programme of action that will respond to the transformation of the healthcare system.
As NEHAWU, we look forward to the progressive resolutions that will emerge from the congress with a strategic objective of accelerating the transformation of the nursing’ fraternity, as nursing is central and pivotal vehicle of championing the revitalisation the healthcare system.
We wish DENOSA a successful 9th National Congress.
