15 percent of medical staff left Yambio Hospital<http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/11888> Anisa Radio Wednesday, October 9, 2013 - 17:41 *About 15 percent of medical staff in Yambio State hospital reportedly left public service and joined non-governmental organizations while others resorted to self employment.*
Yambio State Hospital Administrator John Peter Sangara told Anisa Radio that from 2009 to mid 2013, the number of medical doctors, clinical officers, nurses and midwives dropped from 208 to 158. He explained that three midwives, over 15 nurses, and four clinical officers deserted their jobs in the Hospital. Mr Sangara lamented that this drop out negatively affected health services delivery to patients mostly the antenatal care department which attend to about 100 pregnant women everyday. He attributed the dropout to lack of promotion where most nurses were kept in the same grades without promotion, motivation and allowances. Mr Sangara said MSF Spain is helping about 60 percent of health services in the Hospital. He appealed to the state government to consider the issue of medical personnel in the state annual budget 2013-2014 which is yet to be approved. - See more at: http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/11888#sthash.4vfiQnwS.dpuf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
