Resident doctors begin five-day warning strike Wednesday

The doctors also want the immediate withdrawal of the bill seeking to compel medical and dental graduates to render five-year compulsory services in Nigeria before being granted full licences to practise.

They also want the immediate implementation of CONMESS, domestication of the Medical Residency Training Act, and review of hazard allowance by all the state governments as well as private tertiary health institutions where any form of residency training is done; among others. The President of NARD, Dr Emeka Orji told The PUNCH that the strike was total, involving both emergency and clinical operations in the hospitals.

Dr. Orji said despite the ultimatum issued to the government which ended on May 13, the government did not negotiate with the doctors regarding their demands.All rights reserved.
