    A fellow nurse died in a motor bike crush during home visit. NMC should do something to support nurses. It seems their welfare is left to their own fate. Especially those working in the villages.
    NMC should factor some of these. In case of support there should be a hot line for occupational support, advice, legal support and others

Picture of Peggy Anita at the bottom Peggy Anita ... I woke up at 1: 39am Sunday July 3 , bathed, went on my knees and prayed to God. Whiles praying I ask myself, Peggy is gone, who is the next person? Could it be me? I don't pay my tithe regularly because I have not been going to church due to formal education or work. Should this be an excuse every Sunday? The late Peggy called me some few days before her death. She said "Kofi please help me to get reposting, I am 8 months pregnant and I am so weak. This *national posting* is not good at all. Kofi please help..." This was beyond me. She was advised to see the Volta Regional Health Director.
