Eight months strike: Anambra to recruit doctors from abroad

Following its inability to persuade doctors working in state hospitals who have been on strike for eight months to return to work,  the Anambra State Government has decided to recruit doctors from South Africa, Ghana and India to fill the vacuum created by the striking doctors. Sources said that the decision was taken during a joint meeting between the government and senior officials of the Ministry of Health.

Only last week, some officials told journalists that the government had exhausted all avenues for negotiations with the striking doctors and had resolved that recruiting doctors from foreign countries was the only option left to government.

The officials felt that recruitment of foreign doctors into the health sector would stem the tide of high rate of infant deaths in the state, with over 80 infants losing their ives since the doctors strike began in February, this year.

An unconfirmed source disclosed that the state government also plans to pay off all arears of the doctors' emoluments before embarking on the recruitment exercise, as a way of dispensing with the services of the striking doctors.

Contacted, an executive member of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Anyaso, said the decision of the state government to recruit foreign doctors had been communicated to them some two months ago, saying they were not disturbed with the news.

He added: “We remain resolute on our stand. We are waiting to see them act on their resolution. Do you know how much it would cost them to pay the wage bills of those foreign doctors, which we understand, would be in hard currency? We are waiting for them. Our plan B action would soon be announced.

“If the state government pays us half of what they will pay the foreign doctors in hard currency there will be no cause to go on strike.”[/b]

Doctors working in government hospitals in the state are still on strike since February, this year, over the non- implementation of consolidated salary structure, which other state governments.

If this is tru then Peter Obi is a not-so-smart person. How so you explain bringing expatrates to fill the position of Nigerians. This is a retarded way of thinking.

@ekoile

Oloshi, why not confine your idiocy to one place? Must you chase me around like a damn fahhgot?

If Tinubu is the beginning and the end of your life, good for you.

And if your dikkkkk can not get up till you dream and shout your daily Tinubbu Alehluyah, kill yourself.


Your dumb a/ss cry every day about Tinubu, but you are yet to tell us what he stole from you and from where

You dumb a/ss cry everyday about corruption, but you are yet to tell us what made him a cor rut man.

Until you do that, the only corrupt entity is your slow a/s/s.

When sane and normal people level allegations, they bring out facts to support their allegations, but a worthless scum bag like you is too lazy and incompetent to do just that.

Yelling rubbish that you can not substantiate all over the place is obviously your only portion in life and I hope it remains so and I'll keep reminding you.

Btw, shouldn't you be looking for Tinubu's shiitt to see if smells like Awolowo too?

Fuckkkkking jobless loser.

Tell me how you gonna campaign for Fashola or Tinubu on nairaland if they indicate interest for 2015. Your mouth be like tifi tifi mouth. You lack serious home training.
I have over two million votes.

Sounds expensive. I think it is good to break the will of these evil unions that plague Nigeria (ok I'm exaggerating a bit, but I've not seen much good come from unions so far.)

However, surely there is a cheaper way of doing it. Hire Nigerian docs from other states? I dunno.

I don't know why your are so dumb and foolish to know that you and your moronic nonsense are irrelevant and inconsequential to me. You are just another riff raff to me, talk less take you and the other clowns like you seriously.

Yea, Doctors from "abroad" will cost more than his local doctors. Quite a daft move.

Basically, this man is saying "I'd rather spend double hiring foreigners instead of paying the local doctors anything."

I hate unions; I even hate MEDICAL unions more. They have no conscience and should even be proscribed. Some things are too critical to allow unions in them; eg, Police. In my book, striking doctors should be jailed. Once you sign up to work as a doctor, you must continue working or you quit. That's all.

@Afam4eva, I don't know what you are trying to prove these days.
Jiri nwayo nnanne. You cannot be more Nigerian than others.

Can the imported doctors practice in Nigeria without the sanction of Nigerian Medical Council (NMA) ? Maybe that is the Plan B ambush by the striking doctors.

Bad News for a state

Peter Obi, biko uche gi di ya oo!

What a shame?

When is his re-election due?
All this politicians are all d same.
Aside the indirect employment being created for foreigners in the form of importation of fuel etc,
this man now want to directly give oyibos employment by going over there to ship them to onitsha.

Is it not high time we stopped merely talking and commenting and do something about our govt for real?

Haba, don't you want to be at the recieving end of praise? You're always the one doing the praises.

Are you in anyway holding brief for Peter Obi or what? Nna i'm not trying to be more Nigerian that anyone(whatever that means), i'm just stating the truth.

amazing.

The Ghanaian doctors are on strike since last two weeks now and counting, they have refused to return to work and many people are dying in hospitals. If this is true, they will grab the opportunity with open arms.

By the way, most of these doctors are selfish, they prefer to be on strike while working in their own private hospitals. At the end of the day, the government will still pay them backlog of arrears. Its a shame.

U mean for over 8months doctors have been on strike in dis nation, 8months in anambra, peter obi!!!? Wow!

wetin the doctors dey chop for the pass 8 months?

nakedall:

wetin the doctors dey chop for the pass 8 months?

Most of them get private hospitals, while others are working in private hospitals. So they dnt really care if the strike will last for another 8months,
