CareerResident Doctors End Warning Strike issue 21-day ultimatum by abinsco25(op): 3:07pm On Jan 25, 2017
The National Association of Resident Doctors on Wednesday ended it seven days nationwide warning strike and gave the Federal Government another 21 days ultimatum to meet its demands.

The resident doctors had on January 18 embarked on seven days warning strike for the government to meet their demands.

The President of the association, Dr John Onyebueze, said that the demands border on welfare, revamping decay infrastructure and equipment in the government-owned health institutions, provide quality and affordable healthcare to the populace.

Others include immediate implementation of the National Health Act, 2014, release of the template and implementation of white paper on residency training programme.

He said, “At the moment, we are still where we are, none of our demands have been met by the government, but the last time we met with the government officials they made some promises.

“So, we are giving the Federal Government another 21 days ultimatum now to see those promises translating into action.

“They cannot just tell us that they have set up machinery to implement the National Health Act, 2014 without actions.

“Between now and the 21days we have given, if we do not see the committee working or implementing the National Health Act that means it is a mere promise.

“On the other issues regarding welfare, the government also made some promises which of course they have been making since 2013.

“What we are waiting for is for those promises to translate into action

HealthResident Doctors’ One Week Nationwide Warning Strike Begins Today! by abinsco25(op): 7:32am On Jan 18, 2017
Dr Paul John -Port Harcourt

Rising from the National Executive Council ( NEC) meeting held at the National Trauma Centre, National Hospital Abuja, the National Association of Resident Doctors(NARD) has declared a 7- day warning strike starting from today, Wednesday January 18, 2017 through Midnight of Tuesday ,January 24, 2017. NARD urges all centres to participate and to ensure compliance. This is due to federal government’s insensitivity and arrogance towards the genuine NARD demands for the soul of the Nigerian Health sector. As at the last World Health Organisation (WHO) ranking in the later part of 2015 , the World Health Organization ranked Nigeria 187 out of 191 countries in its ranking of the world’s health systems. This means the country’s health care system is only better than that of three countries, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African-Republic, and Myanmar. Our neighbouring countries such as Ghana, Togo, Niger, Mali, Chad ranked better than Nigeria with 135,152, 170, 163 and 178 respectively. Who knows what it is now? I may not be wrong if I speculate that it may be at the 191th position out of the 191 countries.What a shame for ‘a giant of Africa’.

In view of this, the members of NARD nationwide were instructed to mourn our ‘demised’ health sector and many centres complied. For the avoidance of doubt, I will reproduce the genuine and unbiased NARD demands thereafter and I urge the media and the Nigerian public to rise up for this challenge aimed at revitalising the moribund state of our health sector. This is because our politicians travel abroad to check their blood pressures among other causes of medical tourism abroad . Common ear infection took Mr President abroad when there are significant number of Nigerian Otorrhinolaryngologists( Ear,Nose and Throat specialists) and E.N.T. units in our federal health institutions. That is to say the least most embarrassing and an affront to not only the Nigerian medical doctors but also to all sensible Nigerians. If Mr president could afford the medical tourism abroad with tax payers’ money, what happens to the common Nigerian who lives below one US dollar per day? How many Nigerians have the wherewithal to embark on such medical tourism abroad in case they have ear infection? NARD is simply demanding that our hospitals must be well equipped and the health workers properly remunerated.

THE NARD DEMANDS:

Timeline for the revamping of THI’s facilities and equipments

This is a fight for the Nigerian masses because your health is your wealth. Do we allow our politicians to destroy our health sector , knowing very well that they don’t patronize our Nigerian hospitals?

PoliticsRe: What Should FG Do About Resident Doctors’ Impending Strike? December 27, 2016 by abinsco25(op): 2:23pm On Dec 27, 2016
The issue has been on the ground for some time. The World Health Organisation recommended that at least 15 per cent of the budget should go to the health sector. Unfortunately, it is not so in this country. A trainee needs a lot of standard equipment to become a complete doctor, but when you go to these teaching hospitals and medical centres, they are not there. When equipment are not on the ground it is as good as if the doctor is not existing. The remuneration is poor and that is why people are moving out of the country. There should be a lot of training and retraining and government should honour the agreement reached in the past. There should be improved remuneration.

Recently, we had the 25th reunion anniversary of my set, while those from Canada, America and even South Africa donated $10,000, those of us, from Nigeria could not donate up to N100,000. It is not that they are working more than us, but doctors are not well paid here. Because equipment are not evenly available that is why hospitals refer patients.

Let the government allocate more money and ensure it is well utilised; it should not end in the pockets of politicians. •Williams Afolabi (A medical practitioner in Ekiti State)

PoliticsWhat Should FG Do About Resident Doctors’ Impending Strike? December 27, 2016 by abinsco25(op): 2:18pm On Dec 27, 2016
In the short run, the government should sit down with them and address the immediate challenges. This is very important. In the long run, the government should fashion out a policy on residency training in Nigeria. I think by the time the government has a policy on residency training, most of these challenges would be solved.

But the government and the resident doctors should sit down to discuss a way out of the impending strike. The payment of salaries is one of the immediate challenges I am talking about and government should resolve it.

If they (resident doctors) are asking for what is legitimately theirs, there should not be a problem with that and they cannot be said to be asking for too much. But if they are asking for what is not legitimately theirs, government should tell them so.

There are regulations concerning when resident doctors must be at work. Resident doctors are not permitted to engage in private practice. This is why it (medical profession) is regulated and that is why government must always attend to their needs. •Prof. Aaron Ojule (Chief Medical Director, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital)

The government is already doing a lot to address the issues. First, there is a committee set up to look into the restructuring of the programme and the committee has submitted its report to the government. So, we are waiting for a White Paper on the way forward. This, I believe, will go a long way in providing the necessary funds for the programme because ab initio, there were no budgetary funds for the training of doctors in the country. It is from the Internally Generated Revenue of each institution that the bills are covered. The report of the committee will go a long way in changing everything in residency programme. I am aware there is communication between NARD and the government and the Nigerian Medical Association, being the umbrella body, is overseeing the development. • Prof. Mike Ogirima (President, Nigerian Medical Association)

I think the Federal Government should call them to a negotiating table. They should not ignore them because that will worsen the situation. At the negotiating table, the Ministry of Health and all the major stakeholders should be there.

They had an agreement brokered by the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara. If not because of the agreement brokered by the Speaker, the resident doctors would have gone on a strike about three months ago. So, the Federal Government should negotiate with them in order to avert the planned strike.

If they can go back to the negotiating table, I believe there will be a way out of the crisis.

The first step is to negotiate with them and attend to their demands, but if that is not done, the resident doctors will embark on their planned strike. I don’t think that is the best way to start the New Year. We should learn to be proactive and not begin to issue threats after they might have commenced the strike.

Strike is not a good way to start 2017. If they embark on the strike, the masses will be at the receiving end and even anybody could be a victim of it. But preventing such a strike from happening will be a wise thing to do for the government. •Suraj Ogunyemi (Immediate past Chairman, Nigerian Medical Association, Osun State chapter)

The issue has been on the ground for some time. The World Health Organisation recommended that at least 15 per cent of the budget should go to the health sector. Unfortunately, it is not so in this country. A trainee needs a lot of standard equipment to become a complete doctor, but when you go to these teaching hospitals and medical centres, they are not there. When equipment are not on the ground it is as good as if the doctor is not existing. The remuneration is poor and that is why people are moving out of the country. There should be a lot of training and retraining and government should honour the agreement reached in the past. There should be improved remuneration.

Recently, we had the 25th reunion anniversary of my set, while those from Canada, America and even South Africa donated $10,000, those of us, from Nigeria could not donate up to N100,000. It is not that they are working more than us, but doctors are not well paid here. Because equipment are not evenly available that is why hospitals refer patients.

Let the government allocate more money and ensure it is well utilised; it should not end in the pockets of politicians. •Williams Afolabi (A medical practitioner in Ekiti State)

The government is not supposed to be taking the health sector for granted because the doctors are rendering essential services. The government is not doing well in the health sector, if not doctors would not be thinking of going on strike. The best thing is for the government to respond to the demands of the doctors. These are the people that deal with human lives and we know how precious life is. It is not proper to be joking with human lives; although human life is cheap in this country. The doctors should not be allowed to go on strike.

I don’t understand why some things happen in this country; the government should understand that if doctors at government hospitals should go on strike, many people would suffer, especially the underprivileged who cannot afford the exorbitant medical bills of private hospitals. I think for that reason, government should try as much as possible to prevent the strike. The government should find a way of meeting the demands of the doctors. •Pa Seginde Arogbofa (An elder statesman and Secretary General of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere)

The resident doctors are not asking for anything outside their dues; it is not fair not to attend to their demands. Even if the Federal Government cannot pay them, it can negotiate with them. The government may not be able to meet all the demands, it should show some sympathy.

There is no place in the world where people don’t get paid for their services. I know what it is when you work and you don’t get paid. I think the Minister of Labour and Productivity, the Minister of Health and those charged with the responsibility should seek ways of negotiating with the resident doctors to ameliorate their financial challenges.

However, the doctors must be seen to be rational. The realities of the times do not allow government to do some things which they ought to do. The law does not allow anybody, including the government, to do that which is impossible. If the government agrees to negotiate with them, they should show some level of understanding.

When this government came into power, they knew that the economy was in a shambles, but that did not stop our lawmakers from demanding the purchase of exotic cars even though we know that most of them had luxury cars. But they refused to make any sacrifice for the country, so why do you think the doctors will make sacrifice? This is the bone of contention. If our lawmakers who are receiving so much money refuse to show sacrifice, why do you think the doctors will let go what government is owing them? So, the government should look for a way of coming to terms with the doctors so that they can get some job satisfaction. • Oviemo Ovadje (A retired Army General and Chief Consultant Anaesthesiologist)

The strike is uncalled for. There is still the need for a better understanding, patience and dialogue. I do not think the solution is for anybody to talk about a strike now when we know that the government is trying to construct the right platform for everybody to do their job. So, I believe a strike is premature now. Strikes, no doubt, have caused a lot of damage in the medical system.

In fact, they have even caused more damage than what the resident doctors are trying to fight for. Nigerians are the ones suffering, especially the underprivileged who cannot afford alternatives by going to private hospitals. I advise the resident doctors to be patient and let all their claims or requests follow the normal process. They cannot have it better than now that the minister is a doctor. So, we need to be patient and allow the normal process to take place. What they are fighting for is being worked out. It is patience that we need basically. I am aware that there are some committees that have met on some of the demands of the resident doctors. The report we saw, within the next few weeks, will be released. So, why can’t they be patient? The solution to getting things done is not by embarking on a strike; it is by talking. There is no limit to patience. I even believe that some of the demands are things that had already been programmed to be done in 2017. I am equally aware that the National Assembly is looking at how to modify or amend the TETFUND Act so that teaching hospitals can be included as beneficiaries. By the time that is done, there will be more funding to the health sector and that will invariable increase quality care which is one of the things they are fighting for.

So, what we need is patience, advocacy and dialogue, not strike.

The government is even doing that. It is the doctors that need to show more trust. The employees must trust the employer. We must know that we are all working for the betterment of Nigerians. Everything is reciprocal. While the government is playing their own part, the employees also have a role to play in some of the challenges. But most importantly, everybody should be patient and do more of advocacy and dialogue. •Prof. Abdulwaheed Olatinwo (Chief Medical Director, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital)

The Federal Government should do everything within its powers to ensure that there is no strike in the New Year because we have had too many disruptions in the system. The basic things that the resident doctors are asking for are germane. Most of the arguments border on agreements that have already been reached. One of them is the issue of salary. Some hospitals have not been paid for an upward of three months and you can imagine people celebrating with hunger – that in itself is unfair. Whatever bureaucratic bottlenecks there are, I expected that the government would have cleared them up as a starting point. Another important thing is that government should release the incentives on residency training. There is a uniform template for residency training programme, in particular, the aspect of funding. We cannot continue to pretend that we do not need specialised manpower when in the actual sense this is the workforce that drives the tertiary health system. No country can make meaningful progress without investing heavily in the education of its citizens and the training of doctors is one of that. There is also the issue of the National Health Act that has been signed into law; it should also be implemented. •Ofem Enang (Consultant Endocrinologist, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital)

HealthResident Doctors Declare Indefinite Strike January 2 by abinsco25(op): 7:10am On Dec 20, 2016
The National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, Monday, vowed to shut down the health sector with effect from January 2, 2017, should the Federal Government fail to implement all the outstanding agreements with the union.

It described the planned industrial action as painful but the last option, having exhausted all windows of dialogue.

President of NARD, Dr. Onyebuchi John Ugochukwu, who addressed a press briefing in Enugu equally directed members to start putting on “black ward gown” as a sign of death of health facilities in the country.

Ugochukwu, who was flanked by the association’s national treasurer and public relations officer, Dr. Ugwuoke Aloy Ifedinso and Dr. Asinobi Ugoeze chided the Federal Ministry of health for allowing the sector to deteriorate into a very sorry and unmanageable state.

He, therefore, declared that: “all agreements of the July 14th 2016 mediation meeting with the Honourable Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara must be implemented immediately.

“The Ministry of health should be responsible enough to honour such high level agreement reached by all the parties.

“If they fail to do so, we are directing all our members to proceed on indefinite action with effect from January 2, 2016. We have already notified all the appropriate bodies on the ultimatum which will expire on the said day.”

In a 15-point resolution, which was a fallout of the NARD’s National Executive Council Meeting held in Abuja, he called on the Federal Government to “as a matter of urgency, institute mechanisms to stem the rot in the health sector and ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to all Nigerians.”

He decried the poor budgetary allocation to the health ministry, noting that adequate provision and planning should be made for both manpower and infrastructural development in subsequent budgets.

While the expressing sadness over the number of deaths recorded in this year’s orientation exercise for members of the National Youth Service Corps, the NARP President called on the government to ensure adequate funding, staffing and equipping of NYSC clinics and other healthy outstations.

He stressed that the Federal Government should put in place more articulate and accessible emergency response protocols to reduce the impact of such similar disasters in future.

On the bad discriminatory treatment against its members, the NARD demanded that “resident doctors are pensionable and the deduction and remittance of pension contribution should be fully entrenched in all institutions in line with The Pension Reform Act 2014.

“Resident doctors must be enrolled into the IPPIS platform without further delay.”

“The December 2015 salaries of our members in FMC Owerre must be paid immediately”, he further stated, adding that government’s implementation of “no work no pay” rule on doctors was a grave injustice.

The NARD President said whereas other professional bodies which embarked on industrial action had their salaries paid, it was strange that the “no work no pay” rule was only being applied on doctors.

Though not new to labour related disputes, a new wave of industrial disharmony sweeping
through some federal medical institutions across the country may put the lives of millions of Nigerians thronging the facilities for medical attention in grave danger. A month-long investigation by our correspondent revealed that a large number of dissatisfied medical
workers, including doctors, had stopped going to work, owing to what they described as “inequalities, unfair treatment and corrupt practices within the system.”
The doctors, in particular, now freely attend to private practice or show up at work as they like and attend to patients half-heartedly, according to findings. Some of the institutions affected include the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State; FMC, Lokoja, Kogi State; FMC, Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State; University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos, among others.
According to The Point’s findings, while some doctors are being owed a backlog of salaries dating back to four months, some health workers are being paid wages far less than what some colleagues on the same work grade earn. In some other cases, following promotion to new positions, some workers were left on their old salary scale while some colleagues, with whom they were promoted, began receiving salary payments based on their new positions.
Following complaints, however, the affected health personnel were upgraded and promised their arrears. But they have continued to wait endlessly. Besides, there are also allegations
that the Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Health, had alerted some doctors that their salaries from October to December 2016 would not be paid till the end of January 2017. The information was allegedly contained in a circular that emanated from the Health Ministry and was addressed to the CMDs of the institutions. Some of the affected workers across the hospitals, who spoke with The Point, disclosed that they were informed by the Head of the Administration Department that the Federal Government was
broke and could not afford to pay outstanding salaries for now. The effect of all the development is the lackadaisical attitude of most of the affected personnel to healthcare delivery, which has now become pervasive in their respective institutions.

This was evidently witnessed by our correspondent on a visit to FMC, Abeokuta during the week, when she sighted a rather long queue of patients waiting to see one of the affected doctors who had abandoned his duty post.
And this is coming on the heels of the United Nations Children’s Fund’s revelation on the degree of lack of access to quality health care in the country. According to UNICEF, at the
last count, over 100 million Nigerians were believed to lack access to international standard healthcare service.

I suspect these agents of destruction are trying to create a shadow group as a pretext to deploying troops to the the SW. By doing so, they would suceed in militarising the whole of southern Nigeria and completing the first Phase of subduing the south and islamisation of Nigeria after the mass sack of top military personel mostly from the south and middle belt....

The next phase now is to use AMCON to go after southern billionaires just as EFCC & DSS is going after southern politicians, with a few northerners to make it look balanced..

at the end more concessions and waviers will be given to quota system Northerner businessmen in a bid to have more northern billionaires...

Billionaires whose only business is government while killing southerners who sweated and started building their businesses from the scratch to the top...

By the way, when you want to go big in business, you will mostly borrow, it is not a shame. It is called debt capital. It helps you share your risk.

Unfortunatly, yorubas are not thinking....just few of them...

Well we are watching to see as events unfold.
Gbenu e soun.
