Neno up against male nurse over sexually abusing female patients

Some women in Neno have asked health authorities in the district to transfer a male nurse whom they accuse of asexually assaulting female patients.

Doctors who engage in sexual misconduct with patients are investigated and punished when found

Speaking during a meeting which the Neno Women Forum had with officials from the district hospital and the district commissioner, it was established that the male nurse likes playing with genitals of female patients.

Lucy Howa if the Forum said the government must transfer the male nurse and discipline her.

“We will ensure that justice prevails. We will not stop pressing for his removal,” she said.

Another woman said she had gone to the hospital for cervical cancer screening.

“I was shocked to see that the male nurse was instead playing with my critoris. When I turned to see why he was playing with my critoris, I discovered that he had an erected penis, he could have raped me,” she said.

She said the male nurse told her not to tell anyone of the incident.

District health officer Enoch Ndalama said the hospital would investigate the matter.

He said the hospital does not have enough female nurses either, saying this is why the male nurse us assigned some work which should have been done by female nurses

both the male nurse and the female nurse were responding the opposite sex attraction. when examining nurses or doctors touch anything. the mentality of what happens when you have a male and female in a room made both imagine it was an intimate relationship.

It’s absurd. Female patients need to be attended by female nurses. Male nurses must be attanded by male nurses.

Its not abnormal for a male person to do this job. However, a female always accompanies the male. So whether the other female is a qualified nurse or another patient that the main patient is comfortable with, or a guard…

You can not stop services because you lack a female nurse. But you can create a secure environment where the male nurse/doctor is being checked.

Alternatively, husbands, go with your wives.

As a general rule i think it must be policy that only female nurses carry out such intimate examinations on women, even the bathing of women in a comma should be undertaken by nurses of the same sex. The doctor can be male, but there must be a female nurse present during examination.

If that was my wife, i would have handled the nurse personally. That’s abuse of office.

Just like a certain TNM employee who works in Blantyres TNM office, that guy stays in Chinyonga.

This man blocks phone numbers for female customers from TNM network, just to force them accept his relationship proposal.

The issue was reported to TNM’s head office but they covered him.

I can mention His name if someone wants know him. Thats abuse of office.
