“There is no basis for JOHESU to ask for the same salary as for Medical Doctors as this is not the standard practice worldwide. JOHESU knows that there is a relativity agreement between the Federal Government and the NMA on CONHESS and CONMESS,” the doctors argued.The latest development has marked the continuation of the age-long battle of who-gets-what in Nigeria’s health sector, putting the government between two touchy ends.
Medical doctors and other health workers have been on a warpath for long and the main contentions have been salary adjustments and leadership tussles. This may seem as an over-flogged issue but the rift is always reignited whenever any of the warring groups makes a demand on the government. Although there have been pockets of discontent, one of the most glaring rifts between both groups before now was in 2018 when medical doctors threatened to withdraw their services if the government accedes to the demands of other health workers who were on strike for over three weeks at the time.
“If anyone is to be unhappy, it should be the physicians who are being short changed by the deliberate refusal of the Federal Government to apply internationally accepted relativity in the remuneration of health workers in Nigeria,” the NMA said in its Sunday statement.
