The Union of Nurses, Moms and other health professionals has symbolically delivered 18 white robes, symbolising the amount required to raise wages. The chairman of this union, Fitim Havoli, has said nurses in confrontation with the pandemic are showing heroism. According to him, nurses are the first to face the disease.
And we're also addressing the government as they once and for all turn their heads towards health and this community that has faced COVID-19 without saving themselves and family. Now we're here to appeal to the Government once again that we're a community that should be treated as priority. From a 12-hour night shift, an 11-hour nurse is near patients”, he said.
Havolly has indicated that the nurses' interest in participating in the protest has been enormous.
Today, thousands of nurses have called to attend this protest, but considering the situation, we have tried and I apologize to those whom we have returned. Our fair request has been since 18 eeuros becoming 36 euros. We have not called for salary increases and will not now deal with increases and salaries because the constitutional court has issued a verdict. These requirements involve motivation that should be given to this community. Last week there are 800 infected”, he said.
Nurses are the first and last line facing pandemic.
“We are in a state of war and not leave citizens without our nursing care”, Havoli added.
