@ Honourable minister for health, Prof Isaac
A., let me furnish you once more with the
two options you gave to staff of Federal
Medical Centre Owerri, when you visited the
Centre in a bid to resolve the dispute
between the staff and their embattled
medical director(Dr. Mrs. Angela Uwakwam)
1. Allow and give the medical director three
months to work, at its expiration, you will
Come back by February to re-evaluate
things. If she is found wanting, she goes
but if she is not, she would be allowed to
conclude her tenure.
2. If the union insist that the medical
director has to go, then the entire TMC- Top
management committee members would go
with her since they constitute the decision
making and taking body.
3. If none of the two options above is okay
with them, then you would go to supreme
military medical corps and bring a sole
administrator.
The union in their response to the
conditions given, chose option "2"
expecting you to do the needful.
Surprisingly, barely two weeks after, they
woke to a distressing news that the Centre
has been temporarily shutdown. What
actually was your motive and expectation
while handing down the conditions?
Take this reference, When the biblical Jonah
was abode a ship, we read that at a point
the sea became turbulent and was almost at
the point of capsizing. The captain didn't
shut down the engine to calm the
turbulence? Rather, they subtracted Jonah
(the problem) from the equation and there
was peace. Personally, take it or leave it,
shutting down the hospital isnt the solution.
Put on your thinking cap, see beyond your
nose, dont reason through spinal cord.
