“We plead with everybody to appeal to the Federal Government that these people on strike, whose actions have grounded hospitals, are the effective ones as far as the hospital setting is concerned. It is an indefinite strike which only meeting our demands can end,” he said.
The NUAHP boss, Ogunrinu, who said the Federal Government had since done adjustments to the Consolidated Medical Salary Scale of medical doctors, wondered why it could not do the same for CONMESS of the health workers despite having done the computation, saying poor welfare had been the reason for brain drain in the health sector.
He said, “One of the causes of brain drain is the poor welfare package of healthcare workers. The way out is to improve the welfare package for healthcare workers, hazard allowance, and CONHESS adjustment as agreed earlier by labour leaders and government”. The SSAUTHRIAI chairman, Oluwaseun, who alleged injustice in the sector whereby there was an adjustment on a salary structure whereas there was none for the other, said, “The caregiver also needs to be happy to make the patients happy. What we are clamoring for is that when you are adjusting one, please see to the other and adjust it such that our salaries would be able to take us home”.All rights reserved.
