Medical Association Orders Resident Doctors To Call Off Strike by ayooluwa2(m): 12:51pm On Jun 28, 2013 |
Dr. Osahon Enabulele, National President of Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), on Thursday, ordered the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to call off its three-day warning strike, which started on Wednesday. Enabulele, who gave the directive in a statement issued in Lagos, advised the association to consider appeals from various sectors and give room for a well-articulated, constructive and mature engagement with the relevant agencies of government. “Having reviewed the issues of dispute and having initiated measures to correct the perceived anomalies with verifiable positive outcomes, NMA is embarrassed by this industrial action,” Enabulele said. The statement read that at the first National Health Summit held in Asaba in January this year, doctors resolved to stop strikes at the slightest provocation giving room for constructive and peaceful means of dispute resolution first. It warned that NMA would not withhold applying the strongest sanctions on any erring affiliate body or individual member that violates the constitutional provisions of the association. “The association will not hesitate to sanction any affiliate body for bringing the medical profession to public disrepute,” the statement read. Enabulele, however, apologised to the public for any avoidable deaths and health complications the strike might have caused. He also appealed to the Federal Government to correct the observed budgetary shortfall and apply all necessary administrative sanctions on any erring head of health institutions. Dr. Ismail Lawal, the National President of NARD, had on June 24 ordered his members nationwide to embark on a three-day warning strike from June 26, saying the industrial action was to protest Federal Government’s poor funding of the its members’ residency training. The association issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to meet its demands.. http://telegraphng.com/2013/06/medical-association-orders-resident-doctors-to-call-off-strike/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
