If all these things are absent and you inform your employer over and over, at a point in time you get fed up\u201d, he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>The HSWU General Secretary commended all health workers especially members of HSWU for the services they give to the citizenry, urging them to remain calm and continue to work for mother Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Ashanti Regional chairman who was re-elected unopposed, Brother Emmanuel\u00a0 Gyamfi Osei, in an interview with the <strong><em>DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, also pleaded with facility heads to provide the logistics needed by the workers including their 13<sup>th<\/sup> month salary which is in their Collective Agreement (CA).<\/p>\n<p>He applauded the national leadership of HSWU for being on top of issues, stating that even though there have been a huge improvement in the health sector after various engagements, there is still a lot to be done to boost health care delivery in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FROM David Afum, Kumasi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashanti Reg.
