Nurses stage protest in Nan
Hundreds of nurses in Nan on Monday demonstrated a protest to press their demand that the government recruit more nurses as permanent civil servants and fairer benefits.
About 300 nurses gathered in the yard in front of Phumin Temple in Muang District.
Pattanaphong Wongbunyanuwej, a representative of the Nan nurses, said the group gathered in a symbolic gesture to raise their voices to the government, urging it to allocate more civil servant positions and improve the working conditions and benefits for nurses.
“We want the government to understand the hardship of nurses, as we are working extraordinarily long hours with unfair remuneration, so we gather today to show our demands,” Pattanaphong said.
Nurses have pledged to continue their protest amid complaints about understaffing, tough working conditions and unfair salaries.
