#Federal Cassation Bench upholds desert allowance for #Metema Hospital staff; #unpaid overtime worsens hardship for health professionals in #Amhara region Health professionals working in eight government hospitals across the Amhara Region say they are facing severe social and economic hardship due to years of unpaid “desert allowances.” Despite a court ruling in favor of Metema Hospital staff, the payments have yet to be implemented. Furthermore, health workers across the Amhara region report that overtime (duty) payments have not been made for several months.... A health professional at Dabat Primary Hospital testifies to the difficulty he is facing due to delayed duty payment. He describes his situation, saying, “I can’t make ends meet from month to month. I am living on borrowed money. I am married and have a child.” https://addisstandard.com/?p=55137
