Nurses Petition Parliament Over Salary Increment

Nurses Petition Parliament Over Salary Increment.

Nurses and Midwives through their umbrella body, the Federation of Uganda Nurses and Midwives have petitioned Parliament for an increment in their salaries.

Hon. Ruth Lematia (NRM, Maracha East County) presented the petition on salary enhancement discrepancies for nurses and interns in line with the collective bargaining agreement and Presidential Directive for Financial Year 2022/23.

Lematia said that the nurses and midwives had often found themselves marginalized and forgotten as medical practitioners.

“Majority of the health workers in the country are nurses standing at 70 percent and they have over the years demonstrated tremendous effort in supporting the healthcare system at all levels,” she told MPs during plenary sitting on Wednesday, 04 May 2022.

Hon. Lematia said that with all the training and commitment they have injected into the health sector, nurses continue to be disgruntled and demotivated due to the continued underpayment and not being recognized.

“We need the government to fulfill its commitment to enhancing the nurses and midwife salaries for this financial year if possible and we need Parliament’s intervention,” she noted.

Lematia held that the government should harmonize the salary discrepancies between nurses and midwives and other medical workers; “that the re-designation of nurses and midwives should be fast-tracked according to their work”.

She asked that government should regularise nursing and midwives’ terms of service and that the government should desist from advertising jobs that give a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing as an added advantage.

The Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa, referred the matter to the Committee on Public Service and Local Government for consideration.
