To try and win votes, the PF government has announced that it has reinstated  all the nurses it fired in December 2013.

Outgoing Health Minister Joseph Kasonde told a press briefing Thursday morning that all the 570 nurses who were fired are now free to collect their letters of re-engagement from the Ministry of Health.

The PF has been forced to re-engage all the fired nurses following the promise made by UPND president Hakainde Hichilema to re-engage all the nurses fired by the PF.
