The Joint Health Sector Unions and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals have called on the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to look into the demands relating to the welfare of its members in the state public service.
“In 2022 when the JOHESU/AHPA respectfully reached out to you, the major lament was in respect of Pharmacists and Medical Laboratory Scientists, but it has now escalated to include more personnel because the physician dominated apparatus in the health structure of the LASG continues to mobilise forces within and outside the immediate precincts of Government to inflict turmoil on all non-physician personnel in service.
The statement further read, “Retention allowances for all vulnerable health professionals especially pharmacists, medical laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, radiographers and others. Pharmacists under the aegis of the PSN have recently confirmed that over 5,200 pharmacists have exited Nigeria in the last three years.
“It is the same with all the other professions and we shall not hesitate to provide you with data on the other professions as the need arises.
