In my opinion, the arguments presented by both the EFSTH Nurses Association leadership and NAGANM lack merit. When a nurse feels unfairly treated or denied their rights and expresses concerns, the association should not counterattack or debunk their claims. Furthermore, the association should not distance themselves from their nurses, especially when they are being unfairly treated.

When we seek leadership positions, we often approach nurses, claim to be aware of the challenges they face, and propose solutions during the campaign period. However, upon assuming leadership roles, we require the same nurses to formally meet with us to discuss their concerns, despite being aware of the issues. What is wrong with the association calling the concern nurses to discuss rather than asking them to formally inform them?

Moreover, it is misguided for the leadership to justify their stance by highlighting that the issue affects the entire healthcare workforce, not just nurses. The leadership should be reminded of their roles and responsibilities, which are to advocate for nurses, not the broader healthcare professionals. Their primary focus should be addressing the concerns of nurses, rather than those of other healthcare professionals. It is unfair for the leadership to involve individuals outside their jurisdiction at the expense of their members.

The challenges faced by the said healthcare workers could be distinct from those of nurses. Secondly, there is an association for those healthcare officials that could address the issues affecting their members. Therefore, the focus of the nursing associations should always be on the core concerns of their members. Any argument based on other members as a justification to distance themselves from their members will be unconvincing.

A similar situation had previously occurred in 2018, prompting individuals to make sacrifices and ensure affected staff received their payments. In the 2018 budget speech, President Barrow announced an increase in transport allowances for civil servants from D500 to D1,500, effective January 2018.

However, upon implementation, staff at four hospitals – Bundung Maternal and Child Hospital, Kanifing General Hospital, EFSTH, and Sheikh Zayed Eye Care Center – did not receive their payments. Despite follow-up efforts by affected staff members with their respective administrations from January to June 2018, their efforts were unsuccessful. The CEOs were reluctant to advocate for their staff's rightful payments due to fear of job loss. In June 2018, a Task Force Committee was formed by concerned staff members from each hospital to address the issue with the Gambian government through the Ministry of Health, without involving any association leaders. By the end of August 2018, they successfully ensured that all staff members at these four hospitals received the payments owed to them from January to August, with each person receiving D8,000, and subsequent months were paid with salaries.

Leadership is a responsibility, and for the leadership to distance themselves from their members and fail to take responsibility is unfortunate.
