REFLECTIONS BY THE NATIONAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON THE COURT JUDGEMENT

As the National Health Department we welcome a court judgement which ruled that the strike action by
NEHAWU, its members and employees who are employed in an essential service, is interdicted with immediate effect.

We believe this judgement will bring some form of stability in health facilities across the country. This is a victory for the innocent, vulnerable and un-unionised patients who have suffered the consequences of the disruptive and violent strike action.

We also believe NEHAWU will implement the judgement and inform its members to return to work as soon as possible.
