Ondo govt suspends resident doctors programme amid COVID-19
The sack of the doctors was contained in a memo announcing the suspension of the institution’s residency training programme from August 1st, 2020
The letter, however, indicated that some resident doctors might be considered for re-admission when the programme recommenced. Dr. Ige said the doctors were the most disruptive group to the growth of the hospital despite earning the best pay package among other groups of doctors in the hospital.While describing their sack as a joke that could crumble the health sector in the state, Dr. Olagbe said comments from the CMD were regrettable and unfortunate stating that their agitations were genuine because of non-payment of salaries and arrears.
A statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Donald Ojogo said “For the records, whatever issues that led to the strike action by the Doctors under the Residency Programme and the reprimand by the Management of UNIMED Teaching Hospital are currently being looked into. Such shall be resolved by Monday, hopefully.
