The CWC-in-session deliberated on a number of issues which bear on the welfare and wellbeing of members and staff of MHWUN, with far reaching resolutions reached. The CWC-in-session also resolved on organising a leadership retreat at which a four-year programme of action would be formulate which would guide a systemic and methodical approach for the continued building of MHWUN as the strong, dynamic and dependable union of medical and health workers across the country and which plays an active role in the defence of health workers in particular and the working class in general in West Africa, continentally and globally.

Considering the progress noted in putting final touches to the ultra-modern building, the CWC directed that all efforts be made to ensure completion within the next few weeks, after which the building would be commissioned for use.
