NEHAWU KZN To Launch A Public Health Service Delivery Campaign
Monday August 01, 2022
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] in KwaZulu-Natal will launch a public health service delivery campaign on Friday August 05, 2022.
The service delivery campaign will focus on the following issues amongst others: filling of the all the vacant posts, infrastructural challenges, inadequate equipment, health and safety, safety and security, insourcing of all the outsourced services, implementation of the NHI, absorption of the Community Health Workers and translation of Nurses.
These issues remain a challenge in improving the health sector hence the union has decided to embark on this critical and important public health sector campaign. The union will also use this campaign as a platform to fight for the implementation of the National Health Insurance whilst also fighting against the deep rooted crisis in the health system.
The union will be driving this campaign together with a wide range of progressive organisations within the mass democratic movement and outside the movement.
Details of the Campaign Launch:
The campaign will be launched on the 5th August 2022 and will take place in the following areas:
- Phoenix Mortuary; Durban- Main Launch at 12h00
