CSOs want masterminds of health workers’ exportation punished

Members of Parliament and civil society organizations want government officials behind the planned exportation of Ugandan Health workers to be punished.
They argue that for government to export health workers is total betrayal of the country.
Mityana Woman Member of Parliament Sylvia Namabidde says the man power gap in Uganda’s health sector is glaring and needs urgent attention.
The executive director of White Ribon Alliance Betty Betayi says instead of sending health workers abroad government should focus on their retention.
This comes as government plans to send over 200 health specialists to Trinidad and Tobago.
