Doctors and nurses are on strike at Burkina Faso's public health centers throughout the West African country, leaving only medical students to help the sick.
In a desperate attempt to save lives, the government has requisitioned army health workers though most patients were still languishing without care.
Souro Sanou, a spokesman for the main hospital in the capital, said one-third of the patients seeking help at the trauma unit left without receiving treatment.
The AFP reported that Syntsha, a powerful union of medical workers, called for the protest.

I've always been curious what would actually happen in one of these.
