The Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, has reacted to the speculation at the weekend by the Federal Ministry of Health that the ongoing strike will end today.

It said that only the association could determine if the strike would end or not.

The Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the association, Dr. Bami Boye, told our correspondent that the association would determine whether to abort the strike or not pending the resolution of the emergency delegates meeting currently ongoing in Abuja.

He said: “The Minister of Health goofed. He has no right to say whether we are ending the strike or not. He was not the one that told us to start and he will not decide if we are ending it or not. This will be decided by the delegates at the meeting today.”

As the strike continues, patients in government hospitals are hopeful that doctors will consider their plight and bring an end to the strike action.

#BringBackOurDoctors

.

I can imagine how many lives lost already with this Ongoing strike

Barbaric you know

Typical of the Jonathanians. You call of a strike that you did not call for in the first place? It is only under Jonathan that nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapist etc has the guts to tussle the leadership of teaching hospitals with doctors. I support and endorse the doctors strike, it is fight to finish before vagabonds take your rightful place!

These Doctors are as greedy as the University Lecturers .. always looking for a reason to strike


May my God punish dem if they sort this out without sorting out those Polytechnic peeps.

May God save us from all these!

The minister, is he also a doctor? If yes ! Why is he not on strike

Why is it that we most times blame the wrong people. The govt was given ample time to delibrate on this issue so that it wud not degenerate into strike. Now d strike has come, we are not complaining.

Blame the govt, not d doctors!

After now, some e-diots ll use yeye hand type GEJ till weneva even though almost all sectors in Nigeria are in shambles

The minister must be high on sapele water, if the strike must be call-off , it must be an order from NMA not the minister

It would be preferable all issues are sorted out now, with this strike.

I believe Nurses (Bsc Nursing) and Pharmacist should be able to be CMDs in Tertiary hospitals as long as they meet some certain criteria Like Phd and Dip in Biz Admin.

honestly speaking! So sad

Dp

haha

k

..before we crucify d drs u must ask urself a question. .
Are u willing to let d consultant nurse/lab scientists/pharmacist etc take life or death decisions for u?

If truly d johesu consultants are right in their claim then d drs strike would have irrelevant as d consultant lab scientists will decide necessary tests n consultant pharmacist will prescrib necnecessary drugs n consultant nurse will do surgeries and so on and d hospital should be functioning smoothly even without d 'so called' drs.

These people want to struggle for patient management with d drs yet now that drs have left it for them they still complain.

D strike is unounfortunate but even more people will die if these unqualified consultants are not stopped.

Vagabonds? Jones you're still the programmed robot you've always been. These same vagabonds are the people who would clip the wings of these dictators in the healthcare system who think they can hold everybody to ransome because of their selfish demands which they want us to believe is in everyone's best interest. In the hospital they act as the lords even in cases outside their jurisdiction. They want to head every department in the hospital because they claim to know everything about patients, drugs, physiotherapy, nursing care and they go about dictating to everyone. They believe their opinion should be final. And now that the other members of the healthcare team are standing up to put an end to this anomaly, they resort to blackmailing the government and the people. That is professional tyranny at it's peak. All health practitioners are stakeholders in patient care so there is no reason why a particular group should resort to an autocratic approach in the administration of such a team. If they are all needed to ensure proper healthcare delivery, then they all should have equal say in matters affecting the team.

Nigga is back!

The major issue is that other health professionals now wants to be called "Consultants" and be given all the benefits that a trained Consultant Medical Doctor get, including appointments reserved for such title.

The question now is, How long do you serve drinks as a Flight Attendant before you start calling yourself a Pilot? Never.

If you want to be a Medical Doctor, please go and read Medicine and stop endangering our Health Sector over your failure for not reading medicine (maybe because you did not make the JAMB score).

Tot dey re meant to save life....y kiling pple then?

Chimax15: The minister, is he also a doctor? If yes ! Why is he not on strike

The president ,he was also a lecturer rite? if yes! Why has he not bn joinin ASUU/asup strike rubbish!
