OK
. now one man died but 4 of her family will be punished but long term impress mentioned or by death too . I see the woman suffering the most.

OK

docayo:
Inasmuch as it is the right of workers to embark on strike with proper notice, the law also stipulates that they should not be paid for work not done during the strike.

then is should be passed into law.

Is it workers right to go on strike ? if yes then they should pay them. if unionism is illegal in Nigeria , all should be scraped even NLC

JOHESU Strike: Absence of doctors cripple activities at Asokoro hospital
Patients at Asokoro District Hospital, Abuja have lamented the unavailability of doctors at the hospital to attend to patients especially in emergency cases even as the debilitating strike by JOHESU continues unabated.

One of the patients, Hassan Abubakar, who narrated his ordeal to newsmen on Thursday said he got to the hospital as early as 5.30 a.m. As at 9 a.m. when he was speaking with the reporter, he was yet to be attended to by a doctor.

He said the doctors are yet to resume.

Narrating his experience, he said there was no doctor at the accident and emergency section as at the time he got to the hospital.

“I met an emergency case here when I came, but there was no doctor around to attend to him. The person at the emergency unit kept trying to get the doctor but kept on saying he could not reach the doctor because his number was switched off. This is so bad.

“We all know the health workers are on strike and doctors are meant to be available 24 hours at the emergency unit, unfortunately this is not the case. I had to advise the relatives to take the man to a private hospital and not mind the cost since the treatment they seek at Askoro is not forthcoming,” he said.

Health activities across many secondary and tertiary health institutions have been crippled due to the ongoing health workers’ strike.

The health workers, under the Joint Health Sector Union include all health professionals at the hospitals excluding the medical doctors.

It is expected that medical doctors will be on ground to cushion the effect of the strike.

Mr Abubakar, who was eventually attended to around 10.35 am at the GOPD (General Outpatients Department) unit told newsmen that two doctors later came in, one around 9.15 am while the other resumed around 9.20 am.

“Only two doctors are around in the consultation rooms. There are eight consultation rooms where there should be two doctors each, unfortunately only two people are on duty as I speak. This is unfair, doctors should always be on ground in the hospital, they come in anytime they like.

“The minister health should resign if he can’t find a lasting solution to the problem in the health sector. The minister of health and FCT needs to be doing a period unannounced invitations to most of the hospitals. That is the only way they can get this hospitals running effectively,” he said.

The reporter noticed that most of the units were not fully functional.

At the family practice unit, a doctor was seen attending to some patients who said they had not spent much time at the hospital. Most of them said they came in around 10 am.

A doctor was, however, overheard telling one of the patients that treatment of patients under the National Health Insurance Scheme has been suspended until after the strike.

He said if any such patient was to be attended to, she would have to go pay N600 to register and come back with the receipt to see the doctor.

He said the pharmacy operated under the NHIS was also under lock. This the reporter also confirmed.

This implies that the woman would be buying whatever drugs prescribed instead of collection through the NHIS point which is cheaper.

The doctor in his explanation said when the strike started, they were attending to NHIS patients, but “there is now a new directive from the management that they should suspend such till after the strike”.

While observing activities at the hospital, a staffer who asked not to be mentioned told the reporter that, “things are really bad”.

“The government needs to get things going. There have been lots of cases that have been referred to other hospitals, mostly private. Most of the doctors you see around do not come in until 8.30 a.m. and by 12 p.m., most of them are gone. This is very common with the senior doctors. It is only some of the junior doctors that manage to stay around.”

He said the accident and emergency unit is not admitting patients.


He gave an example of a woman who was rushed down to the hospital by military men Tuesday but was referred elsewhere.

He said the soldiers had rescued the woman who was an accident victim and rushed her down only to be turned back.

According to him, the irate soldiers threatened to take the woman back to the point where she was rescued.

When the reporter visited the ward, only three patients were seen on the beds.

The ante-natal section was, however, active, while officials at the radiology unit said “they were only doing scan and not any other imaging which might include x-rays”.

A mother, who brought her daughter to the paediatric ward, said she spent almost one and half hours before she saw the doctor.

“It is not that they are not attending to us, but it is not the way they should. The doctors were ‘stylishly’ advising us to seek more medical care outside the government hospital because they do not know when the strike will end,” she said.

Another staffer who pleaded not to be mentioned because he is a health worker said many patients are being referred to other hospitals, mostly private.

“The doctors are using this opportunity to enrich themselves especially those that have hospitals. They now refer patients to their hospitals or those of their superiors. Go to the ante-natal section that is working, you will see fliers of various public hospitals on the doctors’ tables and some calendars of public hospitals hanged on the wall. This is not right.”

While lamenting the situation, he said “the doctors have been misleading the system, government and the public that they can function alone.”

“This strike has shown that they cannot do it alone,” he added.

“Most patients are complaining that why do they say the hospitals are open when they cannot see the doctors or consultants. Apart from the time the waste, they don’t see the consultant. At the end of the day, they get information where they can access good health services.”

Buttressing his allegations, he gave examples of three patients, one who had an ectopic pregnancy but had to seek medical attention in a private hospital “because there was nobody to do a scan on her.”

“She needed to be urgently operated to save her life. I don’t know if she survived,” he said.

He however said, “the other two women were not lucky as they died”.

“Nobody cares to follow-up what is happening. The impression doctors are giving the public is that they are working and they are comfortable with it that way. Killing the system, killing the patient, because their interest is not about the patient but about who we are and who we want to be.

“The decision maker, and there are lots of realities on ground, the government is missing. The system is not checked, most people are referred to non-standard hospitals and they are exploiting the system more,” he said.

Newsmen’s attempt to speak with the hospital management was not successful as the reporter was told to bring a letter, “to that effect”.

One of the staff at the general administration office said, “the doctors are always on ground.”

“The emergency unit operates 24 hours and doctors are always on ground. However, if you want the management’s position, you will have to bring a letter to that effect,” she said.

The reporter noticed some of the doctors leaving the hospital around 12.30 a.m.

Joint Health Sector Unions(JOHESU), Statement on Honourable Ministers of Health(Prof. Isaac Adewole) Stand on Health Sectors Salary Structures

21/May/2018

FALSEHOOD ON THE SALARY STRUCTURES IN THE HEALTH SECTOR; A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC AND TRIVIALISATION OF THE CRY FOR JUSTICE BY PROF. ISAAC ADEWOLE HONOURABLE MINISTER Of HEALTH

It is said by one of the holy books that" the truth shall set you free" and it is also common knowledge that falsehood and lies are forever disappearing things, because whenever the truth appears, falsehood and lies disappear. The falsehood and lies being fed the public by the Honourable Minister is not only condemnable but also disappointing and shocking.

The falsehood and lies being paraded about by the Honourable Minister of Health is that other Health Workers under the Umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions are asking for the same salary with his colleagues 'the Doctors'.
While on a Channels Television program: The Honourable Minister said "the only problem with the ongoing strike by the JOHESU is that the group is asking for the same salary with Doctors" in fact this is a white lie and also an instrument of diversionary tactic. It is unfortunate and sad that the Honourable Minister has decided to abandon the subject matter in contention which is better working condition in the Health Sector and the general improvement of facilities, manpower and services in the sector, rather than face these challenges in the health sector, the Honourable Minister is busying himself as the spokesman for the Nigerian Medical Association.

We want to inform the general public that the Honourable Minister of Health should be "for nobody but for everybody" in the Health Sector, but it is evidently clear that Professor Isaac Adewole is the Minister for Doctors and not for all health workers.

The present crisis in the health sector is as a result of the trivialisation of the cry for justice. The general public must know that at no point in time did JOHESU demand for the same salary scale with Doctors. But the failure of the meetings held on
(1). Wednesday, 25th April, 2018,
(2). Monday, 30th April, 2018
, (3). Thursday, 3' May, 2018,
(4). Wednesday, 9' May, 2018
, (5). Tuesday, 15' May, 2018,
(6). Wednesday, 16th May, 2018,

left the health workers with no choice but to take the last but most painful option of continuing the ongoing strike which was preventable, but for self-centred reasons. It is not only important but central to let the general public and stakeholders in the health sector know that a fresh doctor in a government employment earns N312,944.83 per month, that is CONMESS 3 (CONHESS 11).
Whereas other health workers, would have to soil and toil for three to nine years before getting to CONHESS 11 which has a take home pay of 8255,184.83 with a differential of N57,760.00 which represents 23% difference (if adjusted from the present earning of 223,345.58).

So where lies the truth behind the propaganda that Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) is demanding the same salary structure with doctors. (Please see attached earnings in the health sector).

It is obvious that in Nine years that it takes a health worker to climb to CONHESS 11 where he earns N255,184.83, the doctor has pocketed 86,238,080, if stagnated for the period which is impossible. We want the Honourable Minister of Health to tell the world how on earth could a health worker who enters the public service in Nigeria on CONHESS 9 which is the same as GL 10 and earns N161,670.00 with a proposal to increase to N190,000.00 be the same as a fresh doctor who earns 8312,944.83 at the entry point.

This is nothing but a master and servant relationship, in fact worse still, graduate Nurses who handle the bulk of patient care in the hospitals are on GL8, which is CONHESS 7 with a meagre monthly take home of between N97,000 and N118,000 which is almost half of the take home for doctors. In this case who is deceiving who?

The truth is that Doctors are usually the first to talk about international best practices; for the information of the Honourable Minister of Health and his co-doctors it is important to state a case study in Britain our colonial masters.

In the wages of health professionals in UK Public Service, a perfect example is the fact that a doctor in the U.K at entry point earns £26,000.00, per annum while a radiographer earners, £23,000.00 per annum. This is what relativity in the salary structure in he Nigeria should look like.

JOHESU is therefore appealing to the Federal so Government of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR to restructure the Federal Ministry of Health and the entire health sector A position where the Honourable Minister of Health is a Doctor, the Minister of State for Health is a Doctor, the Director Hospital Services is a Doctor, it and Several other departmental heads in the Federal Ministry of Health s are doctors does not give a clear vision and proper direction for our health system.

Our constant position of allowing professional Health Administrators run our health system is the only solution to the quagmire facing our nation today. We have continued-to do the same thing over the years by allowing doctor to administratively run our health system, and we have continued to have the same result of poor health indices. It is time to make the required change, that change should be now.

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Long Live President Muhamniadu Buhari, GCFR!!
Long Live Joint Health Sector Unions!!
