But Liberia’s nurses, hygienists, technicians, and other lesser paid health workers are angry about the disparity in the hazard pay, which offers doctors nearly twice as much money as nurses, assistants, and other lower-level health workers.

“We have been patient, but we will stop coming to work,” Alphonso P. Massaley, staff representative at the Island Clinic, which opened in Monrovia late September, told BuzzFeed News. “When they are making decisions, they do not regard us, they sit in their offices and decide, whether it is in our interest or not they do not care.”

I support them. The world needs to ante up to pay these people serious money as their jobs given the conditions in Liberai are basically death warrants.
