THE Federal Government has announced a ban for medical doctors working in public hospitals to engage on private practice.

The decision was taken at the Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council,FEC, meeting presided by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Federal Government also said that henceforth the doctrine of no work no pay which was contained in the nation’s law would be invoked for workers embarking on strike.
In a joint media briefing after the FEC, the Minister of Health Prof. Isaac Adewole and Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige noted that most of the unions that recently embarked on strike contravened the labour laws especially the Trade Dispute Act.
The ministers further disclosed that a committee had been set up for comprehensive evaluation of job done by workers especially in the public sector.

Nawa o

ok

Nonsense! Will not work.

Go and tell consultants who own private hospitals out there to shut down their clinics.

The health sector needs a total overhaul, from Buhari's syringe-less Aso clinic, to all the existing anomalies.

We should stop papering over the cracks and face core issues head-on.
