Health sector strike looms, JOHESU threatens action over allowances - Punch Newspapers

16 August 2021

NARD, on August 2 commenced a nationwide strike to protest what it described as maltreatment of its members. Besides NANNM, other unions in JOHESU are the Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals and Medical and Health Workers’ Union, the Senior Staff Association of Universities, Teaching Hospitals, Research Institutes and Associated Institutions as well as the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria

“We have demanded that government pay our members and up till now, they are still being owed. We also talked about the adjustment of retirement age which is something that cuts across the health sector. The government’s refusal to meet these demands is causing fresh crises in the sector. The NANNM said it was not contemplating embarking on any strike but urged the government to consider its members, while struggling to satisfy striking members of NARD .

If we have a system that's working, do you think that the government will be playing politics with the Doctors demand rather than implementing it🙄? This government doesn't care about human life 🤐.

Many of our leaders most especially the politicians are being pushed by their conscience to ran abroad for slight headache because they knew how bad their investment i n health sector
