Of course, currently the government
in Kyrgyzstan is very unstable,
and because wages in this former
Soviet country are paid by the government,
they remain low ($50 per
month). Guljahan relates that morale
among nurses is also low because of
supply shortages and lack of recognition
for their hard work. They are
nurses because they care about people.
It is hoped that soon the government
will care about the nurses.
