The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association is asking on government to urgently current the insurance packages promised to frontline workers.
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, President Akufo-Addo proposed incentives for frontline well being workers, together with insurance packages.
But some well being workers who have been victims of Covid-19 say they’re but to obtain any package.
Ashanti Regional Secretary for Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association says none of its members who have been victims of Covid-19 has obtained the insurance package.
Patrick Tetteh says that is inflicting disaffection amongst members.
He was talking at a coaching program for well being workers on vaccine hesitancy.
The coaching by the Ghana Health Service is to adequately arm the well being workers with the data to deal with individuals who have developed dissatisfaction with the Covid-19 vaccines.
Health promotion officer on the regional well being directorate, Sally Barba Owusu Addo, says although the area is just not recording new instances of Covid-19, there’s the necessity to construct herd immunity.
Religious beliefs, concern of vaccination and uncomfortable side effects of the Covid-19 vaccines are among the many elements crippling the consumption of the dose.
The Ghana Health Service says the hesitancy charge amongst well being workers is minimal, however there’s a must re-train them to steer public schooling.
