Partnership crucial in uplifting the Nurses welfare 

Minister of Health and Sanitation Madalitso Baloyi has commended the invaluable role local and international health partners play in uplifting the welfare of nurses in the country.

Addressing hundreds of nurses that gathered at Nsanje Youth Centre, Baloyi said partners are crucial in empowering nurses in various ways including trainings, financial literacy, which help nurses to deliver their duties professionally. On the country's lack of adequate nurses in hospitals, the minister assured the country that plans are at an advanced stage to recruit more nurses for improved service delivery in the health sector.
