Doctors Withdraw Services At LAUTECH Hospital by Johnnyessence(m): 2:23pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
Resident doctors at the Ladoke Akintola Teaching
Hospital, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, have vowed not
to return to work until the state government
addresses the poor welfare conditions they have
been facing since January, 2016.
The doctors, who embarked on an indefinite
strike on August 1, said they were tired of being
owed 11 months salaries.
According to the ARD Chairman at the tertiary
hospital, Dr Sebastine Oiwoh, the state
government has slashed their salary by 28 per
cent since January 2016.
Oiwoh warned that the situation, which he said
had weakened the morale of doctors at the
institution, could frustrate the smooth delivery
of health care services.
He said, “The government’s refusal to reverse the
percentage deduction in our salaries led to this
strike. Residents and consultants are leaving the
hospital every day due to poor working
conditions and instead of employing more
hands, doctors are being given locum
appointment.
“Our parent body, the Nigeria Medical
Association, has intervened since last year and
we were told they would reverse the salary but it
is five months now, it has yet to be resolved.”
