why do doctors always like shutting down hospitals

Nurses do the same ..UCH is shut down presently.

A nurse was brutally assaulted by a State security service official yesterday but there was little UCH management could do .

A colleague, Resident Doctor, was also assaulted last year by a patient relative within hospital premises but nothing was done.

Brutality of health workers has to stop .

Doctors in Imo State have declared a three-day closure of all public and private hospitals in the state to protest their ill-treatment by the police and the Rochas Okorocha administration.
Last week, the doctors and the police clashed in Owerri, the state capital, during a protest against the management of public hospitals and poor treatment of health workers by the state government. During the incident, some doctors were reported shot by the police.
The directive to shut down all the hospitals in Imo was given on Tuesday by the state chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
The association said that the closure of the hospitals was to express their grievances against the action of the police and the concessioning of public hospitals by Okorocha.


In a press statement issued by NMA Chairman, Dr Hyacinth Emele and Secretary, Kyrian Duruewuru, the association condemned the action of the police, insisting that the police acted the script of some government officials by shooting its members on a peaceful protest.
Emele said that contrary to the police claim that NMA never obtained permission for the protest, it was monitored by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Bisong and Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of New Owerri, Eric Uchegbu, who came with six vans loaded with armed policemen, escorting the protesters.


He noted that the police vans which have been escorting them, at the Ware House roundabout, turned against the doctors, diverting them to end their protest at the Freedom Square and not the Government House as contained in their permit.
At that point, Emele said the police, who were hitherto friendly, threw teargas at them and shot some of his members with live bullets.
The NMA said it was shocked by the utterances of the Commissioner for Health, Ngozi Njoku, who it said was rejected by the association because she was not a member of the profession.

TYPICAL IMO STATE.


The Government that does not care about the people offends doctors, they take it out on the people.


Then when the sick Imolites die due to the neglect, these same Doctors would be at the funeral struggling for Ofada rice and sauce with other mourners.


So they cant think of a way to pass across their grievance directly to the government without making the people who support them to suffer. angry




Meanwhile, didnt they vote for Rochas?
Rochas always travel abroad to treat himself when ever he is sick, that's why he is maltreating our doctors

Imo state is broke and bankrupt so what is the news here? All the roads in Imo state are terribly bad and the governor is owing the workers over 1yr salary arrears. The indigenes have all ran to the neighbouring states in search of greener pastures.

Owerri which is largely rural as a 3rd tier town in the SE due to it's very poor infrastructure caused by Rochas poor management of resources has continued to sink deeper down the drain.

Did anybody vote for Rochas or indeed for anybody else? Nigerian elections are the stuff of fiction and fraud, nobody ever knows who did what.

Nothing wrong or strange about that. What exactly does being the political head of the Ministry of Health entail that only doctors know? Or why should the political head of the Ministry of Defence be a serving or retired soldier? Or the commisioner for justice be a lawyer? This doesn't happen in other, civilised nations,; its only here that certain professions insist on having a lock on certain political positions which ends up weakening oversight and promoting cronyism.

There is EVERYTHING wrong with that.

The Commissioner is the head of the ministry of health in the state and is responsible for policy making, yet she has absolutely no professional knowledge of the ministry she is running.
Pray tell how she is supposed to map out policies to help forestall the outbreak of Lassa fever/ebola/Zika virus, or reduce under 5 mortality or improve immunization coverage or maternal mortality when she does not have adequate knowledge on these.

She simply is a redundant stooge put there to spite health workers.

Rochas may as well appoint an engineer as chief judge.
