A thank-you to all healthcare workers
Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, thanks all those who form part of the chain of health in the fight against Covid-19.
THE rising number of positive Covid-19 cases and deaths has placed a massive strain on material resources, as well as on the most valuable resources, that is health workers.
This is according to the KZN Department of Health. “Health workers are human too. No amount of experience, skills or resilience can ever enough to render you totally immune from the anxiety of possible infection, or the psychological trauma of losing patients. But despite this, so many of you get up and go to work every day to fight gallantly against Covid-19 in the service of your country,” said Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, thanking all those who form part of the chain of health, from the frontline staff in the medical field, officials in the district and head offices, community care givers and community-based teams on the ground.
We recognise your efforts. We appreciate you. We know we would never win this war without you.
“To all those health workers who fell along the way and became casualties of Covid-19, we will always remember you as heroes. To all those who continue to soldier on, we urge you to remain strong and follow the precautions. Do not let you guard down. Together, we can conquer Covid-19,” she said.
