Health Minister Joseph Kasonde has advised all the reappointed nurses who were fired for taking part in the strike to negotiate the conditions of service to suit their needs.
Dr. Kasonde says the nurses were not re-instated but reappointed and that they are now regarded as workers who can negotiate the conditions of service.
Dr. Kasonde says if government said it has reinstated all the fired nurses, it would mean that government was wrong to fire the striking nurses.
He says it is for this reason that all the nurses that have been reappointed should consider negotiating for suitable conditions of service considering that they are workers.
