Why Govt is Restricting NGOs Hiring Local Doctors NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
Apparently, medical doctors are moving to non-government organisations to do well paying jobs as consultants and project coordinators.
However, some NGOs say the new attempt to retain doctors could be a 'delicate move' vis-à-vis labour rights. For other medics, the letter signed by Dr Daniel Ngamije, the Minister of Health, says,"their departure causes a disruption considering the gap of medical doctors the sector is trying to bridge."
"However, much as we look at the gap left by a doctor who joins an NGO, let's also look at the welfare of those who work in the public hospitals, their salary, facilitation and motivation, which make them want to go elsewhere," Dr Ntirushwa said.
