Important pointes raised by professionals working in health bureau and health service delivery institutions
As it was reported by health professionals in various institutions one of the objectives of professional associations is to ensure the right of their members but there is significant problem especially in carrier structure and salary scale in governmental institution, the examples given were:
Rank and Salary increment for nurses and health officers is not fair
Midwives have occupational hazard allowance, whereas clinical nurses working in obstetric area do not have any allowance Duty allowance offered for health officers and nurses doesn’t consider the amount of hours lasted on duty time. The new salary increment for government employee diploma holder’s health professionals is not fair
Finally they strongly noted that EPHA should play a pivotal role for the respect of the right of its members
Positive feedback
Almost all professionals except generic students have adequate information on EPHA and appreciated the annual conference sessions and its periodical publications .Most of them again are very much interested to be the member of this veteran association
Comment forwarded
EPHA is expected to go further in promoting itself, evenly distributing its publication throughout the nation and strengthening chapters activity to reach the unreached at grass root level .
