Posted: 04/May/2016


The Association of Resident Doctors at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, osun State has vowed to Sutain its industrial action until all pending issues are resolved. This was contained in a communique sent to Medicalworld Nigeria as shown below:
 
PRESS BRIEFING FOLLOWING THE EXTRA-ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENT DOCTORS (ARD), LTH, OSOGBO, HELD AT THE ARD LOUNGE, on 4TH MAY, 2016
 
'An error does not become truth by reason of multiple propagations nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained'. - Mahatma Gandhi
 
The Association of Resident Doctors, LTH, Osogbo held her extra-ordinary General Meeting at the ARD Lounge, LTH, Osogbo on the 3rd May, 2016. And the association wishes to bring to the notice of well meaning Nigerians (indigenes and non-indigenes alike) as well as the presidency, the observations and resolutions made at the meeting.
 
The following were the observations made:
1) that the state government has remained unperturbed despite the protracted industrial action which has been on since last year September
2) that the said intervention initiated on the 15th April, 2016 by some stakeholders did not reveal any sincere intention to resolving issues
3) that contrary to the news being circulated around by some cohorts, there is no existing concrete agreement towards addressing the present impasse
4) that SINCERE attempts from 'outside the state' to intervene were resisted by the state government
5) that the state government and their representatives have taken to blackmailing, intimidation and unjust victimisation of our members
6) that the government has concluded plans to destroy the only existing state-owned tertiary health institution
7) that the government has taken pleasure in ensuring the total collapse of health care delivery in the state and it's attendant loss of lives
 
After extensive deliberations, the following resolutions were made:
1) The General Meeting unanimously agreed to sustain the industrial action until all pending issues are resolved
2) that the 'presidency' should as a matter of urgency intervene to arrest the looming collapse of health care delivery and avoidable loss of lives.
 
ONE WITH GOD, IS A MAJORITY!!
 
Appreciation
We appreciate the State Security Service, the Nigerian Police Force and the gentlemen of the press for their professionalism.
 
Long Live ARD, LTH Osogbo.
Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria
 
Signed:
Dr. O. A President

Kudos to these doctors who are able to keep resisting the tyranny of that governor.

Unlike the minister of health, Prof Isaac Adewole who went to the same state yesterday to say he was impressed by the infrastructural development in the health sector of a state with its state tertiary Hosp down and the secondary centres barely functioning. Mtcheew.
Shame, shame,shame.

What else does he want at his level. Ate nuje ko ma pa mi.

What a ludicrous comment though u re entitled to it,ARD are postgraduate medical students who have d sole privilege of their education being sponsor by d government unlike other medical workers who sponsor themselves acquiring postgraduate education wit their hard earned money;yet they downtool wit any little flimsy excuse.
The excuse even given by d ARD LTH dt d govt shud go into separate memoradium aside frm d one entered into wit labour is highly preposterous to say d least .

Got a copy right on illiteracy/ ignorance.
Pls read my comment n don't quote me out of context.
I'm not looking for your kind. Abeg, park well.

I know its not the minister who should pay state doctors, but his insincerity stinks even to my tablet. He won't leave any legacy.

Askira the nard President is also playing an evil and ethnic politics that would cause retrogression of the profession. If it were gej by now the health sector will be boiling. We will get to address all these issues soon

God bless ARD lautech osogbo
