Nigeria In One Minute

No respite as doctors’ strike persists

Published

on

No end appears to be in sight as doctors under the auspices of National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, have vowed not to call off their strike which enters the second week today.

This is even as the Federal Government failed to meet its side of the agreement signed between both parties last week.

Patients have continued to bear the brunt of the strike, even as the crisis in the health sector worsened, weekend, with threat by the Joint Health Sector Unions and the National Association of Allied Health Professionals, NAHP, to embark on indefinite nationwide strike and shut down the health sector completely by September 30, 2017.

Speaking to Vanguard on the update of the situation, LUTH-ARD President, Dr. Adebayo Sekumade, confirmed that the strike would continue as the Federal Government failed to effect the second Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed with NARD last Wednesday.
