Chairman, Nigerian Medical Association, Abia State chapter, Dr Isaiah Abali, shares his views with CHUKWUDI AKASIKE about the unpaid salaries of medical doctors in the state and other issues

Doctors in Abia State have not been paid for some months. What is the current situation with your members who have been working without earning salaries?

If you are talking about doctors who work in the ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital), the doctors that work in ABSUTH are actually owed about 18 months’ salaries if you add the September salary. So, it is 18 months salary arrears and not 26 months. The resident doctors in the ABSUTH are owed 25 months.

It is surprising that medical doctors, who are held in high esteem in every society, have not been paid their salaries for more than 20 months. It appears the Abia State chapter of the NMA is silent about this. Why is it so?
