Nurses’ Sickout Disrupts Care at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex
A nurses’ sickout action at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope is causing long patient wait times and reduced front-line care.
The Trinidad and Tobago National Nurses Association (TTNNA) reports that the current sickout by nurses at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope is already affecting patient care, with patients experiencing extended wait times. The union conditions an end to the sickout on management at EWMSC meeting with nurses and addressing grievances in a respectful manner. This industrial action poses a short-term public health risk by degrading access to emergency and inpatient services at the country’s main medical sciences complex.
