Parity, Equity Or Slavery: The Dilemma of the Nigerian Health Sector Wage System.

By Aniey Obot.

The Nigerian health sector has been tumultuous for some times now. It is either members of the Nigerian medical association (NMA) are downing tools using its affiliate, the national association of resident doctors (NARD) as her war horse or the members of the joint health sector unions (JOHESU) are on strike paralyzing health services in the country. Presently, health services in the country have been paralyzed for over three weeks now due to the ongoing strike by members of JOHESU, comprising all health workers aside medical practitioners.
One of the reasons JOHESU, which is a marriage of necessity and convenience of all the registered trade unions in the Nigerian health sector, is on strike, is the wage system in the sector. They are pushing for an equitable and fair wage system, describing the present wage system as a sort of slavery. The NMA which is the umbrella body for all medical and dental practitioners in the country, is seriously pressurizing the government not to grant JOHESU’s demand because according to her, JOHESU is asking for pay parity with doctors. According to NMA, this is against international best practices. This was echoed by the ministers for health and labour who incidentally are members of the NMA.
Parity, Equity and Slavery! These words have been on the front burner of discussions within the sector. NMA is rejecting parity, JOHESU is denouncing slavery and asking for Equity. To understand the discussion, these words must be defined. We take the definitions from dictionary.com. Parity is defined as the state or condition of being equal, especially as regards status or pay. Equity is defined as the quality of being fair and impartial. Slavery is defined as a condition of having to work very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation.
The story of the wage system in the Nigerian health sector is a very long and complex one. To avoid boredom, I will concentrate on the evolution of the present salary structures in the sector namely CONMESS and CONHESS. In 2009, the federal government approved CONMESS for medical and dental practitioners alias medical doctors and CONHESS for other professionals and workers in the sector. These salary structures are gauged against the popular grade levels in the civil service. The basic tenets for these salary structures are that, every worker on the same grade level should earn the same basic salary and common allowances now called consolidated salary. Peculiar allowances should be paid to different professional groups as approved. Different professions have different entry level according to their years of training and the work they do. Any future adjustment must be done on both tables. These they say is to maintain an equitable pay relativity (this is a topic for another day). The NMA and JOHESU where actually unhappy with the new salary structures, because of the pay gap. NMA claimed it was too narrow, and JOHESU claimed it was too wide, they accepted the salary structures and forged ahead. Surprisingly, in 2014, against the tenets of the 2009 agreement, the federal government approved an upward adjustment of CONMESS to the satisfaction of NMA without an equivalent upward adjustment CONHESS.
The real bone of contention here is the issue of pay gap between the medical doctors and other health professionals. To appreciate the cries of JOHESU, an analysis of the wage system in the Nigerian health sector is necessary. For the analysis, a nurse will be used to represent an average health professional. If a post NYSC medical doctor without any postgraduate certification or experience and a double qualified nurse (a registered nurse who has a post graduate training as a midwife) are employed the same day into the federal civil service, the doctor will get employed into the service on CONMESS 3 which is Grade level 13, while the nurse gets employed in the service on CONHESS 7, which is Grade level 8. At the end of the month, the salary of the nurse will be less than 30% that of the doctor. The nurse will need to work for about 15 years to get to grade level 13 which is the entry level for a post NYSC medical doctor. After these 15 years, the nurse’s salary is still less than the salary of a newly employed doctor. To earn the same as a newly employed medical doctor, the nurse will have to work for about 21 years, assuming the nurse passes all the promotion interviews!
During the course of their services to Nigeria, both of them may be given in service specialist training. On successful completion of such trainings, the medical doctor will be promoted to grade level 15 and called a consultant. With this new position comes a new allowance called specialist allowance, while the nurse will be posted to the area of need of the newly acquired skill without any promotion or specialist allowance. The nurse will keep on working waiting for her next promotion interview before he/she can enjoy any promotion if he/she passes the interview.
One of the reasons JOHESU is on strike is to narrow this pay gap and maintain the 2009 relativity, all they are asking for is for people on the grade level to earn the same consolidated pay (basic salary plus general allowances) whether you are a doctor or a nurse. Earning the same consolidated pay is not the same thing as earning the same salary if you are on the same grade level, each professional or group of professionals earn allowances peculiar to them. Remember it takes a nurse about 15 years to be on the same level with a newly employed doctor. JOHESU is simply saying let an average health professional after spending 15 years in the service earn the same consolidated pay with a newly employed doctor. This does not make the health professional earn the same with the newly employed doctor, as the doctor’s other allowances especially call duty allowance is far more than that of the health professional (for those who earn it).Thus, even after spending 15 years to get to the same level as a newly employed doctor, the average health professional will not even earn as much as a newly employed doctor when the demands of JOHESU are met.
It is so surprising that the NMA and both ministers of health and labour are calling this demand of JOHESU an attempt to achieve pay parity with the doctors. It is evident that they either don’t understand the meaning of pay parity or they don’t understand the relationship between the two salary structures in our health sector. I will not want to believe that they are mischievous, as only mischievous people will go on national television and dish out what they know are lies to win sympathy from the public.
Now the onus is on the public to judge if JOHESU’s description of their ordeal in the hands of our health managers as slavery, and their demands for an equitable, fair and just wage system in the health sector is tantamount to requesting for pay parity with doctors!

A NON JOHESU PERSON WROTE THIS!!!!

As a seasoned public servant, my heart bleeds whenever I read what you young ones with no experience come to social media to post. I am not a member of JOHESU but look at this objectively, a fresh medical officer enters the public service at grade level (GL)12 while pharmacist and lab sci enter on GL 10, nurse on GL 8....how can these salaries be the same? doctor's call duty allowance is 4% of his basic salary while pharmacist's call duty is 2% of his basic salary...now how can 4% of GL 12 be same with 2% of GL 10?

Nurses collect shift duty allowance, how can a meagre shift duty allowance of GL 8 be the same with 4% of GL 12?

A medical officer who enters on GL 12 as resident and becomes a fellow after 4 or 6yrs is upgraded to GL 15 ..it takes a pharmacist minimum of 12 yrs to get to GL 15 and nurse minimum of 18 yrs to get to GL 15. NMA is really not helping the Nigerian health sector. angry

MrEgghead:
I can sense hatred and vile contempt from your comments. I feel so bad when so called "educated peope" display their foolery and gross ignorance on social platforms. Just to exonerate your egocentric opinions you went ahead to disgracing yourself by alluding physicians are not fit to hold the title 'Doctors". I know your type; You were not intelligent enough to get medicine, hence, your blatant loathe for the profession.
You even went as far in a bid to vindicate your assertions by making a rather myopic and deluded statement that the decadence in the health is as a result as Doctors being the heads of health care institutions as if there's any sector that is working properly in the country.
Medical Doctors will always be the leaders in the health sectors, albeit the art of healing is multifaceted.
Doctors should never sabotage the efforts of others toward career progression but I'm vehemently against parity in remunerations and other benefits; it's ridiculous, preposterous and grossly unacceptable anywhere in the world.

Ordinarily I won't av dignify ppl like u with response but for ur brazen frivolity and crass ignorance ,am compelled to do so.
Firstly in ur crass ignorance,u emphatically claimed the leadership of d health sector belongs to ur egotistical colleagues which is at variance with the so called international practices NMA always cite for their own selfish benefits.You can google to know ease ur ignorance for u to know that countries with best medical system have good administrator who are not doctors handling d helm of affairs of their medical sector efficiently which makes our leaders to rush there for medical cares anytym they are ill.For instance d minister of health in Germany is a banker,d minister of health in India studied law,head of the national health service in Scotland studied social science,the secretaries of state for health in US and UK respectively are not physicians.You can see from d stated countries with good health system than ours do not have ducks (physicians) at the helm of affairs.
On ur egomaniac bravado of medicine as a course ,I never for once applied to study it ,am a proud and licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist that plays pivotal and behind d screen roles in d prevention,diagnosis,management and treatment of disease.You can bamboozled the public wit ur so called 'almighty' course but not other health professionals in d system,ur medicine is one of d cheap and easy course to study if u are not too lazy as a student.I wud advise u to check out other courses not even in d medical terrain like Architecture, Civil engineering etc for u to realize ur pseudo-egomaniac claims on ur course of study.

MY RESPONSE TO THE ENEMY OF JOHESU
1. What is the meaning of the word `medical´ when it is used to refer to a group of profesional?
2. Are Physicians (they are being called ``doctors´´ which is an honorary title. Only PhD holder is fit to be called a `doctor´) not Health Workers?
3. Who do they refer to as ``non-medical professionals´´? Nurses, Pharmacists, Medical Laboratory Scientists or Physiotherapists?
4. Who is fit to head health sector? Physicians have been heading health sector but it is still a shame that Nigeria Health Care Delivery is ranked one of the lowest.
5. Who should determine the wages or salary? Government or Physicians?
6. What profesional courses are needed to be qualified as a ``medical profesional´ that Nurses, Medical Lab Scientists, Physiotherapists and Pharmacists have not ben exposed to during their undergraduate and post-graduate programs?
7. Can any health professional work in isolation? If No, how should each be paid? Based on input/output or grandiose salary scale?
Physicians are not the head of other professional workers. We are all equal contributors to the health care delivery. To think otherwise is a Delusion of Grandiosis.

WE ARE YET TO GET IT RIGHT IN THIS COUNTRY AS CITIZENS. PUBLIC SHOULD BE WELL INFORMED THAT PHYSICIANS ARE NOT THE HEAD OF ANY OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL (Nurses, Medical Lab Scientists, Physiotherapists and Pharmacists,Radiographers). Their position is purely ARROGATORY.

The only period in the history of labour unrest and agitations in Nigeria with some relative peace was when Prof. Eyitayo Lambo (Health Economist & Administrator) was the Minister of Health. He was able to administer the health sector from the view of an Economist Administrator with a balanced approach to issues as it affects each health care profession within the health sector. However, prior to that period especially when Prof Olikoye Ransom-Kuti was minister for almost eight years under the Gen Babangida "Maradona" junta, the health sector witnessed a systematic consistent decimation and degrading of other health workers while deliberately elevating and empowering doctors as "special superior" species in total violation of the existing rules and regulations of the civil service as obtainable in the health sector then. Various circulars were released and released until doctors became the Alpha and Omega of the health sector sidelining all other health professionals into a box. The consequences of this atrocities is the downward decline in the health indices of Nigerians because the sector was poorly managed by doctors till date. Doctors are not trained in college to manage human resources and financial resources but patients who are medically sick or ill. Management of Sick persons is different from the management of Humans as resources. A look at all the Health parastatals and agencies headed by doctors today manifests decay and a shift from the intended act establishing such agencies. From NHIS to Primary Healthcare development Authorities to Teaching hospitals and Federal medical centre to National Blood Technicial Services to Expanded Programme on Immunizations to NAFDAC (during Dr Paul Orhii) tenure. They are simply poor managers who approach issues from egoistic point rather from administrative point. My submission is this. It took other health professionals to almost two decades to come together under one body as JOHESU to fight the ROT and favoritism of doctors in the health sector. It is obvious now that the present minister does not even understand the difference between EQUITY AND EQUALITY even as a Professor. The end of JOHESU strike when the goal of equity in emoluments and other issues should not be the end of health workers struggle. JOHESU as a body should impress it upon the Federal government and the Legislature that the head of the any Health institution is not a medical qualification but a pure Administrative position as Health Administrator which is NOT a medical position. That the present situation of doctors running the health facilities without adequate prerequisite management and administrative skills and knowledge has never helped the health sector in Nigeria UPTIL Date. A Health administrator (Non-medical) CEO will manage the health sector judiciously and fairly without placing one professional above another as it is now. Prof Albert Einstein said "All Professions are equal and non is superior or inferior to another..

THE NIGERIA HEALTH SECTOR: A MIRROR OF THE ANIMAL FARM
Current events in the Nigeria’s federal ministry of health have taken my mind back to the George Orwell’s classic novel “Animal Farm”. The animals ganged up to removed the evil human who in their own wisdom they saw as cruel and abusive only to enthrone the pigs as their leaders. Well, one particular pig, Napoleon, hid nine puppies until they grew and then began to terrorize, maim and kill any animal that questions its authority with these dogs. In the end, the animals ended up in a worse situation than before and the pigs grew fatter at the expense of the labour of the other animals, eggs went missing, milk went missing and animals also went missing, end of story.
It is significant to note that the health care system of this our great country has nosedived over the decade in the hands of the leaders of this sector. The system seems to be crawling and struggling while a select few are squeezing the milk of the sector, collecting enormous salaries and attending international conferences, while the vast majority of the workers in that same ministry continue to wallow in pains of poor remuneration and limited opportunities. However, whenever questions are raised to determine the main cause of anomaly and suggestions are made to bring sanity back into the sector we are reminded of how important Doctors are and how they must continue to be in charge. (All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others are). When agitations continue, they begin to play the card of international best practice, which is carefully painted to favour the oppressor and continue to bind the oppressed.
The system has been designed to fail. Whenever any suggestion or idea comes up that seems to challenge the status quo but has the potential to improve the sector, the ones in charge who sees these suggestions as a threat to their rulership begin to kick against it and start quoting international best practice. This to me is an insult to this great country because it suggests that we are not capable of thinking of lasting solutions to our problems ourselves, so we have to copy.
The persistent write-ups and press releases by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) and Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) has continued to fill me with dismay, it begs the question. “What are you afraid of? What effect does a better payment for others have on yours? If other health workers are better paid, is it not a motivation for them to work better and improve our health care delivery? What do you have to gain from destroying others, are you not indirectly destroying yourself?
The federal government must be aware that the ministry of health and all hospitals do not need a doctor, medical scientist, pharmacist or any health professional to head it because their allegiance will be to the profession they belong and this will be to the detriment of that sector and other health workers. We need a public administrator who has no alliance with any health professional. Who understands administrations and can bring balance and equity to the system. Who will ensure medical laboratories are well equipped and our pharmacies are well stocked. Whose concern will not be how to destroy other health workers to ensure they do not challenge his authority but how to develop them professionally. Who understands that the hospital is a multifaceted organization that needs to be handled by someone who judge in fairness.
Until we get the leadership right, the sector will still be in a mess, the minister will continue to deny agreements, the NMA and MDCAN will continue to manipulate the federal government and our people will continue to suffer under a failed health sector leadership. undecided

You mean people just go on strike for fun? Look deeply and you will see that those on strike have been oppressed for too long by agent of government in high places who have consistently refused to honour court judgement in favour of the striking UNION, cut them off their due, position and civil entitlement. The minister of health is a medical doctor, the minister of state for health is a medical doctor, the minister of employment and productivity also a medical doctor. All they do give answers only to the needs and yearnings of their colleagues (the medical doctors) meet their demands , give them their entitlement, promotion and position but when others ask for why what is rightly theirs not given, all these ministers do is to usually take them to court to stop them from getting their demands, several of such court proceeding/outcome has been in favour of JOHESU (Nurses and others except medical doctors).

ha ha disintegration of Nigeria. Goodluck with that, how can a group of people who cant sit down and speak with one voice profit from the disintegration of Nigeria. It's like comparing a family with a wealthy father with 3 chilidren. These 3 children cant agree about the color the house should be painted talkless of their father's legacy. What do you think will happen when the father dies and lives no will. You think there will be peace, each child will scheme to gain an upper hand. This is the same way , Biafra will look if they seceede - but we know secession is next to impossible in Africa it's against the rules . You need to start a war and probably loss a couple of million lives before anyone looks at you.
Think Sudan.

If we can look back to the source of this yoruba - ibo problem . The ibo people actually started it, the same way the place this country into a spiral of unending coup plots and military rule. The ibo people used to claim the north was there problem and that northerners are killing them or kill them whenever their is a riot . Today, its yoruba land. We hear very little of the north nowadays, I guess the south east has accepted the north actually does have an upper hand against them regardless of their low education levels.

The yoruba people seem to understand that if they do not assert their historical and cultural ownership of Lagos state it will turn into another port-harcourt , where the owners of the land cant even speak out. Again, the east remains bias - they want to live in your land enjoying equal right but they are never willing to grant such benefits to outsiders in their lands. The results of the recent presidential election prooves this.

The results from Lagos prooves that Lagos is the most mordern and tolerant city in Nigera - citing the victory of the ibo aspirants in elections held in Lagos. It's impossible for a yoruba man born and bred in Lagos - even married to an Igbo woman to achieve such a feat.

One may claim that their victory is due to their numbers but we need to sit down and ask ourselves will the ibo people settle down in Lagos and feel so free as to compete in elections held in Lagos with hopes to win. Let's ignore the fact that they ran under the banner of the PDP (which is strongly correlated with their victory).

Ibo land needs to accept that nobody in Nigeria is actually after them but thier guilt of a cessation attempt and Nzoegwu's evils haunt thier conscience whenever they interact politically with other Nigerians. We have forgotten this however, but as long as they support the individuals who continue to fight for this "pipe dream biafra" they will always feel inferior because that is what biafra symbolizes the inferiority of the ibo people in this great country called Nigeria.

Gbam!,u really nail it well though d truth is alwaz bitter .Have alwaz told my ibo friends anytym we are discussing naija politics dt its would be more a possibility for a camel to pass thru d needle than an ibo presidency to be actualize in naija wit their hateful and distrust mentality over oda tribes.

ha ha disintegration of Nigeria. Goodluck with that, how can a group of people who cant sit down and speak with one voice profit from the disintegration of Nigeria. It's like comparing a family with a wealthy father with 3 chilidren. These 3 children cant agree about the color the house should be painted talkless of their father's legacy. What do you think will happen when the father dies and lives no will. You think there will be peace, each child will scheme to gain an upper hand. This is the same way , Biafra will look if they seceede - but we know secession is next to impossible in Africa it's against the rules . You need to start a war and probably loss a couple of million lives before anyone looks at you.
Think Sudan.

If we can look back to the source of this yoruba - ibo problem . The ibo people actually started it, the same way the place this country into a spiral of unending coup plots and military rule. The ibo people used to claim the north was there problem and that northerners are killing them or kill them whenever their is a riot . Today, its yoruba land. We hear very little of the north nowadays, I guess the south east has accepted the north actually does have an upper hand against them regardless of their low education levels.

The yoruba people seem to understand that if they do not assert their historical and cultural ownership of Lagos state it will turn into another port-harcourt , where the owners of the land cant even speak out. Again, the east remains bias - they want to live in your land enjoying equal right but they are never willing to grant such benefits to outsiders in their lands.
