Senior nursing staff have described the Health Ministry’s latest draft guidelines concerning working conditions of all categories of nurses in healthcare establishments, units and institutions as “a step in the right direction”.
Through the guidelines, the Government hopes to regulate work timing, standardised work environment, provide childcare support, while offering yoga-meditation and counseling services to the staff, among other facilities.
The nursing staff, however, point out that the guidelines need to take into account some of the basic flaws in the system that have to be corrected.
