Nurses and midwives living in the Maloney Development have been advised to carry proof of employment, their work schedules and proof of address when travelling during curfew hours, as the National Nursing Association works to secure arrangements to facilitate their movement.
In a media release on Wednesday, the Trinidad and Tobago National Nursing Association (TTNNA) said it was liaising with the Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) to ensure nursing and midwifery personnel could travel to and from work despite the restrictions imposed under Legal Notice No. 848, the Special Operations (Curfew) Order, 2026.
The association acknowledged the inconvenience and challenges the restrictions had created for healthcare workers living in the affected community.
In the interim, members have been advised to carry their national identification cards, work identification cards, copies of their current work rosters and proof of address when travelling.
The TTNNA said it would also recommend contingency arrangements to facilitate the movement of nursing and midwifery personnel if similar restrictions were imposed in other communities.
It added that further information on the arrangements for issuing passes would be communicated through an official public notice.
The association said it remained committed to protecting the welfare and rights of healthcare workers while ensuring essential healthcare services were not unnecessarily disrupted.
