The Enugu State Ministry of Health says the purported strike embarked upon by the Association of Resident Doctors in Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane was ill-timed.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Ifeanyi Agujiobi, said this in a statement signed on behalf of the state’s Commissioner for Health in the state on Sunday in Enugu.
“The Enugu State Government received with dismay, the news that the ESUTH ARD doctors have proceeded on a five-day warning strike.“More so, it completely contradicts the creeds of the oaths, which they swore to uphold,’’ he said. “For now, all the key officials of ARD ESUTH Parklane have since remained incommunicado as their phones are switched off,’’ he added.
“More worrisome is the fact that the state government has not owed any of the doctors their monthly salary and the doctors are comparatively well cared for.
