Members of the Association of Resident Doctors, ARD, at the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, UNIMEDTH, in Ondo State, on Tuesday, commenced a 14-day warning strike. Among other grievances, the striking doctors cited the non-payment of seven months' salaries to their new members. While staging a peaceful protest at the hospital premises, the doctors vowed to halt activities until their concerns are addressed by the government.
Dr Matthew further stressed that part of the reasons for the warning strike include non-payment of palliative to House Officers since February, failure to disburse the February Hazard Allowance despite assurances from the state government to settle two months, and shortage of staff resulting from the resignation of doctors from the hospital. He revealed that there were only 26 members of ARD in the hospital, as against 150 a few months ago.
