On April 6 , an official meeting between the Minister of Health, Dr. Saad Okoub, and a delegation from the General Union of Libyan Syndicates, took place, in response to a request made by Nermin El Sharif, President of the General Union to consider the conditions of international health workers in the Libyan Ports Company.
The meeting dwelt on the various precautionary measures taken by the company to protect its employees and international health personnel, despite the current scarcity of the protective requirements to combat COVID-19 in the workplace.
The Minister of Health commended the efforts of the security authorities and the workers and their union for their dedication to work, stressing his full support for cooperation with the General Union and its affiliates for the best interest of the country.
