The leadership of of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU), whose members have been on strike for sometimes now, have raised an alarm that government has started using quacks health officers to service innocent patients.In a statement after an emergency meeting today to review the strike which has been adversely affecting health service across the country said that the claim by the management that it had employed and deployed unqualified hands to render health services is not true, saying that such workers were not trained or licensed to do the job.
Chairman of JOHESU, Tony Asiodu, said that the workers advised the public to be careful and not to play with their health.
“The management has thrown away tenets of professionalism and ethics of professional conducts in a bid to create a posture that the hospital is providing services, when in actual sense they are rendering unhealthy and quack services, which poses a great threat to Delta State citizens and members of the public at large.
“All the qualified professional, whose job they are trying to do, are on strike.”
He said non-qualified and non-licensed casual staff were employed to carry out laboratory and nursing services.
