Ebola Crisis: Sierra Leone Health Workers Strike

November 12, 2014

(BBC) – Hundreds of health workers involved in treating Ebola patients have gone on strike at a clinic in Sierra Leone. The staff are protesting about the government’s failure to pay an agreed weekly $100 (£63) “hazard payment”. A few are still assisting at the clinic. The clinic, in Bandajuma near Bo, is the only Ebola treatment centre in southern Sierra Leone. In Mali, a nurse and a patient became the second and third people thought to have died from Ebola there.
