Patients in public hospitals in Abia have continued to bear the brunt of the ongoing strike by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) in the state.

A News Agency of Nigeria correspondent, who monitored the strike, reports a total compliance with the NMA directive at the Federal Medical Center and Abia Specialist and Diagnostic Hospital in Umuahia.

“Health matters are very important and should be treated as such by all concerned, therefore, I call on the government to do the needful,” Orji said. Njoku urged the state government to meet the demands of the doctors and bring the strike to an end without further delay. Madubuko said that the strike is taking its toll on healthcare delivery in the hospital, indicating that patients on admission have been discharged to seek healthcare services elsewhere.

A nurse at the hospital, who pleaded anonymity for fear of victimization, said that the hospital was no longer admitting patients.
