Decrying the fact that hospitals have been operating bellow capacity for weeks due to National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) resort to industrial action, National President of MDCAN, Dr. Steve Oluwole, said striking doctors had also ignored the directive of the National Medical Association (NMA) to return to work.
NARD members are on strike over the non-payment of salaries and skipping of grade levels.
However, on June 18, following a meeting with Chief Medical Directors of hospitals, the NMA, in a memo signed by its national President, Dr. Kayode Obembe asked that doctors suspend the strike as some institutions had started payment even as the association was still working for others to be paid.
Oluwole, who spoke at a press briefing held in Abuja yesterday, stated that strikes had taken a toll on the health care system.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..
He called on the doctors to resume work, just as he noted that strikes had negatively affected the quality of service provided to patients.
He said: “The cycle of strikes and counter strikes that have bedevilled tertiary institutions for sundry issues have weakened health services, shown maximum disrespect for human lives and jettisoned the established order of humanity to care for the sick.
“The MDCAN therefore, adopts the directive of the NMA that all hospitals on strike should suspend such.”
