Natasha seeks better pay, welfare for doctors, nurses

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called for improved working conditions, remuneration, and welfare packages for healthcare professionals, particularly doctors, nurses, midwives, and other medical personnel, to encourage them to remain in service, especially in rural communities. In her address at the "Unfinished" event organized by Ward-C in collaboration with the National Human Rights Commission, she emphasized the need for an enabling environment for healthcare workers to perform their duties effectively, highlighting the importance of adequate remuneration, functional medical equipment, essential medicines, reliable electricity, conducive working environments, and opportunities for professional development.

Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that improving medical personnel's conditions would help motivate them to remain committed to their responsibilities, particularly in rural areas where they often work under difficult conditions.
