mictima: the government brought this over their head! how will a country's health sector be run without a bill? I just see this as a never-ending professional war because if the government answers johesu, nma will come up with another set of demands! JOHESU is not asking for equal treatment, it is asking for fair treatment. only those in the health sector ll understand the injustice within |

I thought your calling was to help save lives?

Chinaimporter: [b]The solution to all this conflict is to sensitize nigerians to know the following all i see above are rants, rants and more rants, honestly, it get's boring eventually . Why must it be JOHESU vs NMA? Doesn't JOHESU have the right to demand for better packages for its members? why must d NMA interprete it as a pissing competition to see who has the longest dick, does an improvement in JOHESU's terms and packages adversly affect or reduces NMA's own? Unless, JOHESU is right about terms for both parties being disproportionately unequal of course. 3 Likes |

Stuffyj: Now Nigerians will know d selfish and heartless grp btw JOHESU and NMA. Almost all their demands is centered on one allowance or the other. Nothing to show for patients who r d major reason why they work in d hospital. I think "health bill" should be passed as soon as possible and everything should be resolved at once. Serial strike actions won't do us any good because people r really suffering.and the NMA were so unselfish. As we noticed during the ebola pandemic. The NMA care so much for patients . . . . . . . . right? 2 Likes |

if it were doctor's calling for strike this thread will have reached page 23 with 90% of the whole comments full of curses and calling doctors all sorts of names, now that the allied health workers have declared their own strike, people are not so bothered as this thread is still on page 3. 6 Likes |

Nigerians don't know the impact of these unnecessary bickering amongst medical workers. Let me give you guys a clue; the cost of seeing a specialist doctor (obstetrician, surgeon, anaesthetist) is already skyrocketing because they are leaving in droves. We are producing doctors for other countries while our people are dying. Recently, a federal medical centre was looking for doctors to apply for obstetric residency to fill its quota for accreditation but people are not encouraged to take it up. In the last 3 months, 2 super specialized physicians I know have taken up appointment in Botswana. It ll come to hunt us eventually. 2 Likes |

Chinaimporter: @bushdoc9919 Chai, @chinaimporter, importer & exporter, general merchandise. You should have kept quiet instead of exposing your ignorance further. I thought your first post was a mistake, you were corrected but refused correction. Obviously if an error is spotted in your prescription and you're advised accordingly your response would be it doesn't matter. I don't want to conclude that you're a quack, product of many extra years. You sound like a danger and a misfit in the health sector if you could write all that about other health professionals and I therefore call for a review of your certification for clarity purpose. Pls stop your "chinko'' services for conscience sake I'm neither a physician nor a johesu member but a concern citizen that is well informed of happenings in the health sector. Pls change your reasoning and stop importing "chinko" comments here 3 Likes |

Let me give you guys a clue; the cost of seeing a specialist doctor (obstetrician, surgeon, anaesthetist) is already skyrocketing because they are leaving in droves. We are producing doctors for other countries while our people are dying. Exactly. And it all boils down to funding. But the truth is that the Government does not want to face the funding issue, not because they are callous, but because they know that dealing with the funding issue leads them down the road of hospital fee increases, among other things (And that has an impact on how people vote...any politician who raises fees would be sacked in the next election). Ordinary Nigerians too like their hospitals cheap. The problem is keeping it cheap means lowered standards(That is the same issue bothering our education sector too). Botswana has a low population, and a lot of resources to boot...that is why Nigerian docs are porting there. In short....we don't have enough money to fund hospitals. And until we diversify our economy so that we can earn huge revenues from industrial development.....we may have to raise hospital fees....and find money from the fuel subsidy. |

Inasmuch as I would not want JOHESU to go on strike again...the fact remains that there are serious issues with funding health in Nigeria...and it is high time your Government addressed them Ignore JOHESU, and NMA....and you will reap the whirlwind of mass exodus of medics and other allied health professionals out of the country. |

I have read a lot of posts here and come to the conclusion that most people need to be adequately informed. It is disgusting to hear some arguments that sound like reductionist views, all in the attempt to belittle someone else. Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must make every effort not to fall way behind the rest of the world especially in health care. The world of health care is dynamic, like a moving train it is either you get on board or you are left behind. The practice of health profession (medicine, pharmacy, nursing, lab sc. radiology etc) is changing, driven by advancement in technology, research, socio-economic factors, globalization, emergence of new diseases/treatments, increase in life expectancy and many others. Patients are becoming more informed than ever before, thanks to the internet as well as increase in formal education opportunity among the populace. It is not uncommon these days to have patients who have done internet search of a particular procedure or test before they even go in for the examination. They are aware of what to expect from the health care provider as well as the different outcome of such procedure. It is not the job of the health care worker who ought to be in a better position to educate these patients? Helping them make informed decisions is the responsibility of the professionals. What this means is that as a health professional, you must be prepared, better informed and be educated to meet the contemporary needs and challenges of the health sector. Consider these questions as a patient; the scenarios are from the perspective of what it used to be, and what is presently obtainable in the different health care field: 1)What would you do if your radiographer does not have the training to archive and transmit your plain film x-ray in digital format so that a radiologist (Doctor) in a remote site can read them? 2) what would you do if your nurse is unable to troubleshoot digital blood pressure machine, or get result from a digital EkG machine, or find it difficult getting your medication list because they are in electronic medical record (EMR)? All these, due to the fact that she/he is not trained in clinical bioinformatic.The result is that, the nurse can not function to the detriment of the patient. 3) What would you do if your pharmacist is unable to compound your medication because the active composition is only available outside the country, so having asses to it becomes challenging because the B.Pharmacist is not recognized by a foreign counterpart/firm as being a practicing pharmacist with Pharm.D but rather a B.Pharm 4) How would you feel if your medical lab scientist is not contributing to the course of finding a cure to your disease because he/she does not have the advanced training to adequately document findings and present such findings of clinical procedures to others which might be used for research purposes toward the particular disease. In the face of all these evidence, a responsible party in the health sector would understand that it is no longer business as usual. There is an urgent need for all health care professionals to advance in their practice. This is the current trend in the rest of the world.Schools are changing their Curricula to reflect this current issues, advance practices are coming up, (nurse practitioners, Pharm D, Assistant radiologists etc), there is even more need for leaders in every health care profession. Leaders who are able to make autonomous decisions. I hope that in the near future, people would get above the fight and encourage each other to become better leaders for the end goal of providing excellent care to the patients. Nigeria is for all of us. 1 Like |

That the doctors who were first respondents were not acting in their capacity as private sector not public sector workers right? That the goverment was not looking for people working in health and related fields to employ on contract basis to help track, monitor and assist patients and suspected patients during the outbreak right? That JOHESU members were not involved in managing the outbreak right? And you dare accuse me of sentiments? Remove the log in your own eyes first and see how guilty you are of bias and misrepresentation before you try to remove a non existent speck from mine. |
