The Minister also directed Chief Administrative Officers and hospital directors to take stock of all health professionals who will not have returned to work by Monday and declare the positions vacant in line with laid down procedures.
It should be recalled that Allied workers under their umbrellas body , the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union (UNMU) laid down tools accusing government of failure to implement the Collective Bargaining Agreement made in 2017 to have their pay increased.
