Even after the NMA called off its industrial action, hospitals still remain mostly sparse because doctors are yet to fully resume, this is largely due to the ministers reluctance to recall sacked doctors and resume residency training, consultants in most federal hospitals have also refused to attend to patients despite not being on strike further complicating the situation. NMA suspended their strike hoping to have their junior colleagues back at work. Resident doctors form the major part of the doctor work force at tertiary hospital institutions. All eyes are now on Onyebuchi Chukwu as NMA meets in Awka this weekend

Leave the Health Minister Chukwu alone in his stupid war with Resident doctors. He is nothing but a disgrace to the profession he has gone rogue on.

what were they really expecting that resident doctors would be fired and work would go on smoothly
how will a car move when it has no engine?
nigerians are yet to fully understand the damage done until they go to the hospitals for healthcare and notice that many of their doctors who they previously thought were consultants are now absent.

Infact, the repercussions of the rash sacking of resident doctors will still be on ground for the next 50years. Another wave of emigration has commenced among doctors. Health for all by year 2020 indeed!

That is the best word to describe this health minister .

" GONE ROGUE" on his colleagues just for the porridge of a ministerial appointment.

Nigeria is worst than Afghanistan. I was at the hospital with my sick father but was told that doctors are yet to resume duty.

This Ebola scare is becoming
more palpable than ever.
Almost all febrile illness has
Ebola as the top most
differential with its attendant
abandonment of patients. This
is really a bad time to have
malaria. The game playing out
in most centers is becoming
worrisome . A situation where
the nurses , after smelling
something sinister about a
patients presentation ,will
refuse to take the patients vital
signs and send him directly to
the consulting room to see the
doctor . then the doctor sees
the move as an act of terrorism
against his/ her person and
tactfully decline seeing the
patient , with the ready made
excuse that vital sign has not
been done! hence, patient
hangs . i don't really blame the
doctor or the nurse for taking
the extreme precaution to
protect themselves ,especially in
centers where most consulting
rooms do not have ordinary
running water , let alone , soap
& hand grooves. i blame the
government for this. you may
ask ,why always the
government? Yes, the
government!!! I'm already
depressed watching prof.
chukwu every evening on
network news ,misleading fellow
Nigerians with false ebola
statistics . instead of providing
diagnostic apparatus across all
tertiary hospitals so that
patients can be screened easily ,
he choose to sit tight in abuja
and be telling us who has died
& has been infected. I strongly
believe that this Ebola epidermic
is grossly under reported and
may be closer to every
practitioner than he/she may
imagine. Until federal ministry
of health wakes up from its
slumber , this ebola epidermic
may not be contained in the
near distant future. May God
bless Nigeria.
