“The ministry acknowledges the importance of maternity leave, and this matter has been addressed with medical officers now being granted a 90-day extension,“ he was quoted as saying at a press conference after officiating the National Strengthening of the First 1,000 Days of Children’s Lives event today.
“Doctors from the same district will be mobilised to clinics in need during that period. It is unfortunate that this situation occurred, and God willing, we will ensure it does not happen again. We are a ministry that should demonstrate empathy and compassion towards our staff,“ he said.
