Liberia: Health Workers Remain Adamant

Several health workers across Liberia have sounded a caveat to the National Legislature not to have Dr. Bernice Dahn confirmed as per the President's request to serve as Minister of Health in the country because by doing so will not be in the best interest of the health workers.
