Liberian nurses licenses suspended.

Liberia nurses are striking after having money deducted from their pay checks by the government without any prior notification.  This happened simultaneously with teachers being given a 40% pay increase.  The United States State Department has reported Liberia for the most serious human rights abuses related to lack of justice and official corruption.
Twenty two people have been dismissed and the Minister of Health has instructed the Nursing & Midwifery Board to suspend the licenses of those dismissed related to professional code of conduct.
I believe these nurses deserve support rather than having their licenses being suspended.  I suggest sending your comments and messages of support to www.allafrica.com and any other ways that you feel is appropriate i.e. express your thoughts and feelings about this issue to your local politician.

I believe as nurses support each other during these times of heightened stress and crisis we will overcome such measures as dictated by the Government of Liberia to silence nurses.
Please inform your friends about this issue for nurses in Liberia.  I believe that if we want a fair and just world, we have to be fair and just to those who are struggling to see justice served.
Warm Wishes, Rita
