Resident doctors across Nigeria have commenced a nationwide
indefinite strike.
The doctors resolved to proceed on the strike after a
meeting of its national leadership that ended in the early hours of Monday.
In a brief statement obtained by Vanguard Newspapers, the
President of the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, Onyebueze
John, said, “Rising from our NEC meeting, which started by 7pm yesterday and
ended 3am today. NARD has resolved to reject the promissory offer from
Government, and proceed on total and indefinite strike action until all items
in her demand list for strike action are resolved by Government.”
The doctors later refuted the statement, saying though they
met with the government, but were yet to take a decision.
The strike action is expected to adversely affect healthcare
in public secondary and tertiary hospitals in the country, particularly the
teaching hospitals.
Why is it ALWAYS so difficult for govt. to meet these demands?
It's not as if the doctors are asking for the moon.
