Healthcare workers at a large state-run hospital in Sierra Leone have gone on strike over pay and hazardous working conditions, according to an article on The Week website.
The workers said they are not being provided with adequate protection against the Ebola virus after more than 20 healthcare workers died from the disease.
"The workers decided to stop working because we have not been paid our allowances and we lack some tools," Ishmael Mehemoh, chief supervisor at the clinic in the city of Kenema in the east of the country, said in the article.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak on record has now infected over 3,000 people and killed more than 1,500. The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that it is concerned about the "unprecedented" number of doctors and nurses who have been affected. So far 240 have been infected and 120 have died, according to the article.
