It added that it is liaising with the various regional coordinating councils to ensure that nurses and other health workers’ safety is guaranteed.
Nurses in the country have expressed concern following the death of Ms. Eshun.
They believe that her killing reflects among other things the dangers and security challenges they face in their line of duty.
There are already calls from some quarters for the nurses to withdraw their services in protest of Ms. Eshun’s killing as the leadership of the Registered Nurses and Midwives is calling for speedy investigation and trial of persons who had a hand in her death.
Meanwhile, Police in the Ashanti Region say they are investigating the matter although they have a suspect currently in their custody over the crime.
