MP Ntumba Tshiabola Bintu recently raised an important issue through three written questions addressed to the Ministers of Public Health, Finance and Budget in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These questions relate to the non-compliance with the agreements signed with the health union, which led to a strike with serious consequences throughout the country.
The Katanda MP wishes to understand why the various agreements signed with the Bibwa 1, 2 and 3 union were not respected. He also asks why the additional 10% pay planned for the months of April, May and June is still pending, as well as the administrative situation of health professionals.
The elected official from Katanda underlines the urgency of a solution to this situation, especially since the President of the Republic recently launched a universal health coverage program, which requires that the problems of the strikers be resolved.
He therefore calls on the ministers concerned to implement all necessary measures to respond to the demands of the strikers and find a rapid solution to this crisis.
This situation once again highlights the importance of taking into account the needs of health professionals and respecting the commitments made to them. The current strike has already had serious consequences on the population, and it is essential to find a solution to ensure the continuity of health services in the country.
It is therefore essential that the Ministers of Public Health, Finance and Budget take these issues into account and act quickly to resolve this critical situation.
In conclusion, the question raised by MP Ntumba Tshiabola Bintu highlights the importance of respecting the agreements signed with the unions and responding to the legitimate demands of health professionals. The current situation requires urgent action by the government to avoid further deterioration of the health system in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
