SACK THEM ALL! After all, who doesn't know that the best treatment for a headache is to cut off the said head, even if the headache is only pointing to a more sinister problem? Why should they ask for better equipment to work with? Why do they need CT and MRI machines to diagnose when we have our ancient African technology of seeing a person miles away in the palms of our hands? Why should they ask for grants for researches? Shouldnt their jumbo pays be enough to fund such studies? Why havent they found a cure for this viral haemorrhagic fever? Why should they fault you for begging the Americans to give us ZMapp? What are big brothers for? Is it not to clean up their younger ones every time they pee intheir pants? Why shouldn't you blame them for the ebola outbreak in the country? Isn't manning the borders supposed to be part of their work? Why should they say they want to be the only ones to be tagged as Consultants? Is it not a mere sobriquet every Tom, Dick, and Harry can choose to be called by? Havent people started calling me Professor as far back as my primary school days? Why do they oppose(sic) relativity in the health sector? Arent men born equal? Do they think you have forgotten that the quest for relativism caused the biblical fall of man? Why should they want to head the medical team because they claim they are better intellectually equipped? Isnt that egotistical? Why should they tell you to extend universal health coverage to all citizens? Dont they know that the citizens are wealthy enough to fund their medical expenses? Why are they even fighting for the masses? Do they know how many of the intended recipients of the policy jumped for joy when you called for the heads of their supposed activists? Why didnt they take you by your word when you signed the said agreement with them earlier in the year? Why do they insist on implementation? Dont they know ASUU went on strike for a different reason last year, other than non-implementation of an agreement signed in 2009? Do they think your pacts are worthless? Why should they tell you not to remind them of their sacred Hippocratic Oath and not go on strike? Dont they know you also took an oath when you came into office? Shouldnt they know you swore to protect the interest of the ordinary citizen and that is just what you are doing? Why should they clamour for increased pay? Don't they know that this country isnt financially buoyant enough to meet their demands like in the other countries? Who told them our political office holders still manage to get the equivalent of (or more than) what their equals in those other countries earn? The answer to the questions is obviously what you have done. Fire the resident doctors. But dont stop at that. Fire the consultants, the medical officers and the house officers too. Order state executives to sack those in their employ. You can even fire all medical students. They could have been brainwashed by their seniors. They have drained enough from the pockets of their parents. The government is also wasting scarce funds because they spend ages in medical school, saying they dont want to be half-baked. Like we told them we need bread! Besides their seniors are always telling them they dont know anything. Take a nip in the bud before it is too late. Lets go back to those times when there were no doctors. Tobi Bamigbade Medicine 600L, OAU bamitobi@ yahoo.com 16 Likes |

NMA 24 POINT DEMANDS 1. A demand that seven Deputy Chairman Medical Advisory Committee, DCMAC (four for Teaching Hospitals and three for Federal Medical Centers be appointed to assist the Chairman Medical Advisory Committee, CMAC. The association noted that the CMAC is presently saddled with statutory responsibilities that are too heavy for an individual to handle. The DCMACs is expected to have the same qualifications as the CMACs. The NMA also argued that directors in other government establishments are supported by deputies and sees no reason while that of the CMACs should be different. 2. The association opposed the appointment of directors in hospitals. The position, it said, distorts the chain of command and induces anarchy while exposing patients to conflicting treatment and management directives with mostly negative consequences. 3. A demand that grade level 12 (CONMESS 2) in the health sector be skipped for medical and dental practitioners. 4. The association also demand that the title ‘Consultant’ should not be assigned to non- doctor personnel. Arguing that consultant describes the relationship between a specialist medical doctor and his patients, the association said that giving the title to a non- doctor personnel will only lead to anarchy and chaos in the system. 5. The immediate implementation of a January 3, 2014 circular and immediate payment of the arrears for 22 years during which members were short-changed. It also demand an adjustment of doctor’s salary to maintain the relativity as agreed. 6. The acceleration of the passage of the National Health Bill and extension of the Universal Health Coverage to cover 100 per cent of Nigerians rather than 30 per cent as currently prescribed by the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS. 7. Appointment of a Surgeon General of the Federation with immediate effect. 8. A correction of entry point of a health officer to CONMESS 1 Step 4 as originally contained in MSS/ MSSS while the Registrar/ Medical officer is moved to CONMESS 3 Step 3. 9. Call duty allowance for Honorary Consultants should be increased by 90 per cent. 10. An adjustment in the specialist allowance as contained in the 2009 collective bargaining agreement. Also all doctors on CONMESS 3 and above must be paid specialist allowance or its equivalent, not less than 50 per cent higher than what is paid to other health workers. 11. Hazard allowance for medical doctors must be at least N100, 000 per month. The hazard allowance for medical doctors is said to be at N5, 000 per month presently. 12. Immediate release of the circular on rural posting, teaching and other allowances which must include house officers. 13. An immediate withdrawal of a circular by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN authorizing Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria, MLSCN to approve licenses for importation of In-Vitro Diagnostics, IVDs. 14. Immediate release of the circular for the retirement age for medical doctors as agreed with the Federal Government. 15. The FG through the health ministry should formalize and implement the report of the interagency committee on residency training. The FG is expected to release the uniform template on the appointment of resident doctors in line with earlier agreements. Also a concrete funding framework for residency training must be established while the overseas clinical attachment must be fully restored and properly funded in the interest of the nation. 16. That in the interest of harmony in the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, the government should pay the salaries of our members in the center as agreed on October 21, 2013. 17. Immediate concrete steps must be put in place for the reintegration of our members back into the IPPIS platform. 18. All attempts to coerce house officers not to join NARD must stop. 19. The orchestrated intimidation, harassment and physical assault of our members in the departments of pathology (Laboratory medicine) by laboratory scientists and tolerated by the Federal Ministry of Health must stop. 20. The endless circle of incomplete salary payment of our members in many hospitals in the name of shortfalls in personnel cost must stop. 21. Universal applicability of all establishment circulars on the renumeration and conditions of service for doctors at all levels of government must be granted. 22. Government should as a matter of urgency set up a health trust fund that will enhance the upgrading of hospitals in Nigeria. 23. The position of the Chief Medical Director/ Medical Director must continue to be occupied by a medical doctor as contained in the Act establishing the tertiary hospitals. This position remains sacrosanct and untouchable. 24. The NMA henceforth shall not accept the continued violation of any of any of the terms of the 2009 Collective Bargaining Agreement. This is exemplified by the payment of the Medical Physicist and Optometrist with OD (who are on CONHESS) call duty allowance using CONMESS circular. Similarly, the phrase, “Ministries, Departments and Agencies”, MDAs in the said agreement should replace “Federal Ministry of Health and other Federal Health Institutions” as contained in the 2009 CONMESS circular. https://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/166930- these-are-the-24-reasons-nigerian-doctors- are-on-strike.html 2 Likes |

Do Doctors even uphold the oath of service they took? Some of them take bribe to give attention to patients. UPTH is one place. It's God that's saving us. Why would they compare themselves with their counterparts abroad? What if other professionals do so? meaning all government workers will go on strike. They should accord themselves some respect and not feel too important, we can make do with other medical practitioners plus Herbal doctors. 4 Likes |
