A former National President of the Nigeria Medical Association, (NMA) Prof Michael Ozovehe Ogirima has called on President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal
Government to do the needful by putting an end to the ongoing industrial action embarked upon by the National Association of Resident Doctors, .
The Professor of Orthopedic surgery said the strike has become a reoccurring decimal in Nigeria’s system for workers to press home their demands, stressing that Nigerians are the ones bearing the heat as a result of the industrial action. ” The resident doctors are fighting for survival. And if you see life been threatened, you will look for a means to see how to circumvent this threat that is causing havoc. Doctors are professionals guided by ethics. They too are human beings.
Earlier, the Kogi State Chairman, Nigeria Medical Association, , Dr. Omakoji Simeon Oyiguh said it is not in the public interest and national security for the Federal Government to continue to create the environment for continuous brain drain, as resident doctors continue to be frustrated by the Federal Government to deliver on training and service.
