| Nigerian Ministry Of Defence Owes House Officers And Interns Salaries For 7 Mont by noname1: 11:50pm On Aug 29, 2014 |
It is crystal clear that Nigeria has somehow managed to stifle the rapid spread of the Ebola virus infection within its shores. Even as many institutions and indeed individuals are already beginning to claim
responsibility for this tremendous achievement, there is the tendency to easily forget or relegate the grave injustice currently being done to those in the frontline fight against the spread of this deadly virus. I am
referring to what is happening to the lowly placed Doctors (HOUSE OFFICERS) working with the Ministry of Defense (MOD) at the following hospitals:
Armed forces Hospital Kaduna,
68th Armed forces Hospital Lagos,
48th Armed forces Hospital Lagos,
Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital Ojo Lagos,
442 Nigerian Air force Hospital Ikeja.
In February, when most of them were offere employment by the Ministry of Defence, they felt extremely lucky. Having endured the gruesome
conditions during the employment examination and interviews, they were all in awe when they received text messages beckoning them to come for their
appointment letters.
It is no surprise then to see that they have been working dutifully in their respective hospitals for over seven months. However it is a thing of deep sadness to discover that they have not yet received a dime for their
hard work. Nothing from their place of primary assignment and nothing from the ministry of defence that hurriedly issued these young doctors letters of appointment at the request of the respective commanding officers at the helm of affairs in the hospitals under the auspices ministry of defence.
After repeated efforts to see how they can get paid for the hard work they have done and are still doing, it is disheartening to realize that some individual still remain stoically nefarious to them. These Doctors claim
that they have continuously pleaded with the relevant authorities, they have cried, dialogued and for the past seven months all they seem to get are just empty promises.
As the 26th of August 2014, after meeting with the permanent secretary of the ministry of defence, they learnt that their salaries were not included in the yearly budget of the MOD. Preposterous one may
think, but it begs the questions:
1. Why on earth would the MOD go ahead to issue out appointment letters to workers they had no intentions of paying?
2. If they had indeed wanted to pay them, why had alternative sources to generate funds not sort for before the seventh month?
Recently, some individuals labeled Doctors inconsiderate for not helping out the country in the face of the Ebola crises, but these individuals are
somewhat wrong, because indeed clandestinely there were a group of doctors at work in the midst of the Ebola crises. These Doctors, although lowly placed were first on call in the peak of the Ebola frenzy that gripped the nation. Without pay, they risked their lives to continually care for the sick. These unsung heroes instead of being celebrated are constantly being
ridiculed. Even when other Doctors were on strike these individuals as civilian doctors were still working in the frontline against the spread of the Ebola virus in their various MOD establishments. They labored
painstakingly each day without pay or food in their bellies to see that their tasks are done efficiently.
The truth of the matter is that they have not asked for remunerations for working during this time of national disaster, they have not asked for national medals of Honor, even though they deserve it. Rather what they
ask is their salaries, to be paid what is due to them, what they have earned.
It is however intriguing to discover that even though they have begged, and asked well meaning Nigerians to come to their aid, many are too quick to brush their story aside. It is arguable that they have not gone on strike even after working for seven months, why should they? Also, they have not protested, how I can blame them, when recent events in Nigeria show
how frugal a strategy is protesting? In addition they are not asking for an increment in their wages, on the contrary, they have patiently waited for seven months before asking for their pay. This should not be happening.
I weep for this country, if this can happen to a Doctor in Nigeria; I wonder what will begin to happen to other professionals?
I want to use this medium to ask all other well meaning Nigerians to rightly come to the aid of this bright Young Doctors and to implore the relevant authorities (ministry of Defence, Ministry of finance) to look onto these doctors with mercy and end the savage acts against them, besides what crimes have they committed, except they have served and are still [url][/url]serving the country Nigeria. |

This thing has been happening for years. Same story every year. These pple involved have no shame. Heard some pple are still being owed 6 mths salary after close to 10 years. Sometimes u won't even be paid for twelve months. Someone keeps shifting the blame. I weep for this nation. Most times they never pay you complete. Imagine taking 6 months salary from 170 health workers. Pls do the maths then u will know we are in a terrible country. 1 Like |

Do house officers still work for the military?This non payment of salary issue has been the norm for house officers working at various military hospitals for years now.I understand the difficulty in getting positions for housejob but working without being paid is just not acceptable.If you are a new medical graduate looking for housejob,please do not get close military hospitals for housejob. |

It is sad but it appears as if no one is actually auditing or evaluating the quality of care being provided by these interns at the Military hospitals. At the Military Hospital in Yaba, there are no doctors available in the wards on weekends, especially Sundays. If a patients condition takes a turn for the worse on a Sunday, ah....na bad story be that oh!  There are no defibrillators to restart a patient's heart if he suffers a cardiac arrest... and most of the antibiotics offered to patients are the first-generation type, not the quick-acting new-generation types that take effect in record time. The list of deficiencies is so long...that it beats the imagination when patients actually recover in this military hospital, and eventually get discharged. May God protect us all from infirmity and disease.... because our public hospitals and military health care centres, lack the ability to help those who truly need their assistance to fight sickness & disease. |
