Medical workers in Liberia are no longer interested in working in the hospital?..... find why!!!


Based on information reaching us this morning,we've  just been informed that many of the Liberian midwives and Nurses have vacated every hospitals in the country in a bid to protect their darling life from killer virus! the move which began in Liberia’s largest hospital  Monday has spread to other Hospitals; of which recent updates confirmed  it that, many of the nurses are currently on strike, demanding better pay and equipment to protect them against the deadly Ebola epidemic, which has killed hundreds in the West African nation
.
Spokesman for the strikers at Monrovia’s John F Kennedy hospital, John Tugbeh, said the nurses would not return to work until they are supplied with “personal protective equipment”, the hazmat-style suits which guard against infectious diseases.
Adding that,“From the beginning of the Ebola outbreak the've not had  any protective equipment to work with. As a result, so many doctors got infected by the virus to the point some passed on,as such We have to stay home until we get the PPEs,” he said.

The deadly Ebola virus,which is usually transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, has killed more than 1,500 people in four countries, which include Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since the beginning of the year – almost 700 of the deaths though in Liberia
