The House of Representatives has failed in its intervention in the crisis between the Federal Government and the National Association of Resident Doctors after two days of marathon meetings
The House Committee on Healthcare Services on Tuesday failed to convince the resident doctors to call off the ongoing industrial action across the country.
The NARD had listed payment of outstanding doctors’ salaries and hazard allowances minimum, enrolment of doctors in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information Systems, among others, as minimum conditions to call off its indefinite strike, which commenced on August 2, 2021. The meeting failed to reach any conclusion on Monday, forcing the lawmakers to continue the talks on Tuesday.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Healthcare Services, Tanko Sununu, said the stakeholders, including the Federal Ministries of Health; Finance, Budget and National Planning; Labour, Employment and Productivity; and the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, had agreed to address some of the issues.
