“This is rudimentary, illegal, and immoral. The attitude and action by politicians and their cronies to threaten healthcare workers at their place of work should be curtailed,” he said.
“The safety of healthcare workers is threatened in such facilities. The perpetrators of this heinous act should be brought to book urgently.”
