I don’t know what is this organization doing apart from kuponda chiphazi ma nurse technicians. Do you know that these technicians are changing profession because of this kind of leadership. A bona nanu mungoyang’ana ndi kusekerera this organization wasting our money through kukhomerera because I’ll wishes for these technician. For a technician to go to a degree level has to spend not less than seven years kkkk. Bola sindine nurse kkkk

This guy mistakenly thought it’s Nurses and Midwives Council. Nevertheless, akulu ndinu mbuli. You think education is honorary. You earn it!

Good lesson to Gama, akuti usiye matama but I do not have a problem with a male heading an institution dominated by ladies. Problem with ladies amayamba kulimbanirana amuna. The truth of the matter is that nurses have been known to be promiscuous . Ndiye Dorothy amaithatu,congrats
