What do you mean by allied health workers. This is a term coined by Nigerian doctors. They are a vital part of the health sector,; therefore they are health workers.
Its either you are in the health sector or you ate not. So physiotherapist is not in the health sector. A medical laboratory scientist is not in the health sector but only connected or allied to it. Also a pharmacist.

You guys are pathetic. Going by your submission, the only people in the health sector are doctors and dentist..... abi?

the term allied health workers refers to members of the health team apart from doctors, nurses and pharmacists. It is not a derogatory term.

CALM DOWN!!

okay...... really very sorry.......withdraw my statement..... fall down shamed & repent in ashes.....

it surprises me that this topic just de show up for NL.

Ebola dey ravage W.Africa

Bombs dey go off everywhere for Nija,

and Doctors dey strike, truly unbelievable and unacceptable

MeAboki: In a house of 10, when only 1 is against the rest then something fishy must be going on, because all other 9 cannot be wrong.
Doctors greed and selfishness against other health workers is the cause of this wahala.
Imagine going on strike because:
you don't want others to graduate as consultants - even though anyone can become consultant in his own field
you don't others to be promoted to directors - even though the law entitles them to it
you don't want others to skip GL 11 - even though the law entitles them to it like other civil servants.
you want house officers & resident doctors to be paid teaching allowances - even though they are students & not teaching anybody.
You want to be given the highest Hazard allowance - even though there are others more exposed to hazards than you.
you want to take over control importation of laboratory reagents & equipment - even though there is the laboratory regulatory body (MLSCN) as provided by law
you want to head departments or organisations of other health professionals - e.g. NAFDAC even though they are not meant for you.
you do not want other professionals to head hospitals or become minister for health - even though these positions are essentially and purely administrative/political.

And the list goes on.....haba doctors, na una only be ppl?

phoneys spend so much time explaining themselves with useless analogies... who dey the same house with u abeg park one side... blood and engine oil no matter how red u try to colour it cannot mix... find your own village for your tribal chiefs with phoney titles.
and who said house officers and residents were students? your paucity of knwoledge amazes me and you posing like u know stuff about the health sector degree bearing working individuals are now students? if so then nobody should be paid too in the quackery sector. for your information, if u dont already know, house officers are also called interns...that name familiar to you? dumbo

Dude do u read released communique from the right source or u just listen to rumours given to u by doctor-beefers on the street and on the media?

Anyways...Strike continues...

onyxo76: so because Keshi went without pay for 7 months drs should follow suit and work for free abi?? maybe we should ask you how they will meet their immediate family needs and that of other dependents? comparing a football coach and a medical doctor is not exactly a good case study.

i chose the case of keshi 2 emphasize my point, docs provide essential services they could mak do wit wat they 're recievin nw nd continue negotiations wit de govt. Its nt lyk they 're nt being paid. Medicine is nt 4 everybody sha its 4 dos wit compassion. Pls visit a govt hosp near u nd u'll be moved to tears

Do yiu think the strike is all about money??

its a pity we don't have a listening Govt, do you think as a Doctor that i love to be on strike? has the Govt ever listened to any body and met any demands during negotiations? this strike is not even about money but other issues which i'm pretty sure you know about. As regards compassion i agree with you, however, being compassionate will not get anything for you in this country-sorry to say.

yea, it always comes down to money somehow or most of it anyways

ebosse:
That's no excuse. This is a matter of DEATH & LIFE we are talking about here. A doctor should be a person who wants to save lives @ all cause.Unfortunately it is different in Nigeria.. These days when I hear the word Nigerian doctors the first thought that comes in mind is Nigerian Politicians.. I had a lot of friends studying Medicine while I was still in Uni and 99% of them decided to Read medicine because of the Money involved not because they give a shvt about human lifes
.
This is Y ppl die a lot in hospitals these days because Doctors don't put out all they can give y trying to save patients.
I think the only way to seed out the weed in both the political and health sector is actually by reducing (Not increasing) drastically the amount earn by these ppl.Then the ppl who really care will stay on and fight for their course y the mediocres will search for the next highest-earning sector.

In that Case Sire,why didnt you;who gives a fvck about human Lives, go to medical School so you can be saving Lives?

katordidi: yea, it always comes down to money somehow or most of it anyways

this case isnt about money at all. read up on the issues and check the so called international practices. be unbiased.
