Phebe Hospital Shut Down as Staff Protest Pay and Conditions

Workers at Phebe Hospital, a major government referral center in Liberia's Bong County, shut down operations on Monday. The protest follows earlier threats by staff. They are demanding solutions to unequal salaries and poor working conditions. Hospital employees describe their work environment as "unconducive." They also cite significant pay disparities among staff. The action halts services at a critical public health facility. Phebe Hospital serves as a key referral center for the region. No further details on negotiations or a reopening timeline were immediately available.
