Jos University Hospital Doctors Suspend Strike Because Of Bomb Victims by olokfor(op): 4:25pm On Jul 06, 2015
THE Association of Resident Doctors (ARDs), Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), has suspended its strike to attend to the urgent medical needs of victims of the twin bomb blasts in Jos, Plateau State.

Dr Meshack Daniel, Secretary, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Plateau State, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday that this was to enable the doctors give adequate medical attention to the victims.

Daniel said that the NMA was assisting in coordinating the management of casualties recorded from the blasts.

"As you are aware, resident doctors in JUTH have been on strike, but because of the situation on ground, we have discussed with a view to suspending the strike.

"This is to enable us assist in taking care of the injured victims. We are happy the doctors have obliged, and indeed suspended the strike, for the benefit of humanity," he said.

Daniel said that most hospitals in Jos city centre were overwhelmed with patients due to the large number of victims of the blasts.

He also said that the NMA was doing everything possible to mobilise drugs and consumables for the patients and that donations were also coming from people.

They are waiting for a bomb to go off before they will call off their strike.

Impending overhaul of Nigeria health sector is imminent.
