Luanda – National Assembly will discuss on May 18 the strategies for training human resources in the health sector, on proposal from the ruling MPLA party’s parliamentary group.
The topic will be analysed at the 5th ordinary plenary meeting of the National Assembly, said Thursday the Parliament spokesperson Raúl Lima at the end of the Conference of Parliamentary Leaders.
In this debate, at the request of the opposition UNITA party’s parliamentary group, the MPs will also analyse the conflict between the physicians and the Ministry of Health, in particular the physicians’ strike.
The vice-president of the MPLA parliamentary group, Manuel da Cruz Neto, said it is necessary to explain to the society how the health system in Angola is organised from the point of view of human resources.
He said his party was not unaware of the situation of doctors. He added that in the last meeting of parliamentary leaders, it was agreed that the MPLA should introduce the theme of the management of the health system in Angola and UNITA proposed to discuss, in the same point, the conflict between doctors and employers.
“We want to know what the employer is doing in this area because, in the end, who suffers from this situation is the hospital users and we do not want the situation to continue,” said the MP.
Manuel da Cruz Neto, however, indicated that all the infrastructure that have been and are being built in the country in the large-scale health sector is visible.
He noted that the main concern is how these infrastructures have the desired impact on people’s lives.
