The Association declared a nationwide strike yesterday April, 16, 2018, protesting against the incarceration of their colleague who had been languishing in prison cells for two weeks following the death of four persons at the New Senchi Health Centre. Takramah was among two officers stationed at the health centre where an injection of contaminated penicillin powder caused the death of the four persons.
