Following more than two years of unresolved safety concerns for health workers at Ramokonopi Community Health Centre (CHC) in Katlehong in Ekurhuleni which have been raised with the District Health, DENOSA has, in line with Chapter 2 of the National Health Act, decided to exercise the right of workers to a safe workplace by withdrawing its members from the facility immediately until this long-standing matter is resolved.

The nurses, 80% of whom are DENOSA members, will report for duty in surounding clinics where safety is not a concern.
