Ranchi: The ongoing strike by the National Health Mission (NHM) state unit contractual worker (NHM) – is considered the backbone of the State Health Department – can thwart the management of the country’s pandemic and it also at the time of the Covid case.
Witness a surge.
After the Puja Durga, the cumulative active case load of the state has passed 200-mark and out of the daily target of 3 lakh vaccinations, Jharkhand only reached 50% of the distance so far.
Protests have agreed with Daily Reporting and Covid Data Evaluation, as a result of the Covid State Dashboard not yet updated since stirring on October 10.
NHM has also stopped issuing covid trackers and daily vaccines because they hit.
This has happened for the first time since the virus outbreak in March last year.
Because most work is handled by contractual workers, the strike effect is now felt in other districts as well, besides Ranchi.
“More than half of NHM staff worked on a contract and they took care of data management, daily reporting, administrative work, managing files and program management, among others, all this work was suspended at this time and many districts, also experienced similar problems .
Work related to malaria, dengue and routine demunisasi be delayed as well, “said a member of the Association of Employee Benefits Health Jharkhand, under the banner who have been held.
However, an NHM official said that Covid work, such as testing and vaccination, remained unaffected so far.
“There is no effect on Covid management and all districts take care of their respective needs,” he added.
About 4,000 employees protested the recovery of the state program manager named Jwala Prasad, which was stopped due to financial irregularities, the implementation of HR policy and paid as a substitute for working on holidays, among others.
NHM MD Bhuvanesh Pratap Singh did not respond to Ti’s call, while the Minister of Health Banna Gupta said, “I have asked NHM MD and the Ministry of Health to sort out this problem.” Vaccination drives also tend to be affected as ANM / GNM NHM workers, who also worked contractually, apparently also planning to join protests.
Speaking with Toi, Secretary of the Secretary of the Association of ANM / GNM NHM, Veena Kumari said, “We have provided support on our principles to strikes when contract workers struggle for the original cause and if needed, we will also break down.
Even though it works in difficult conditions, we continue Work for the welfare of the community but the government remains indifferent to us.
“ANM claimed that the health department had recently slaped ‘False’ firs in 16 ANMS, which was part of the protest all day in Nepal House on October 20.
“The Anma was called for talks by the Ministry of Health after protest.
The department slapped the fire on them, quoting a violation of the Covid protocol,” Anm said.
