The Covid-19 frontline health workers, whose contracts were terminated by the Ministry of Health in March, have said they will only return if the government gives them permanent employment.
The demand is coming amid rising numbers of Covid-19 infections in the country.
Ms Bonietor Amanya, a former nursing officer at Mulago Hospital and the national mobiliser of the terminated workers, said they are willing to come back and work.
“As long as we are paid our arrears and absorbed into the main government system, then we can come back and work. We have the experience because we have handled the patients during the first and second wave,” she told this publication yesterday.
