The Nation Newspaper Strike: Health workers comply with NLC’s directives in Abuja General Hospital
While most departments were closed, essential services such as Emergency, Records, Labour Ward, Special Care Baby Unit , and Pharmacy remained open to attend to patients.
According to the Acting Director-General of the Federal Capital Territory Administration Hospital Management Board , Olugbenga Bello, who spoke to our correspondent over the phone, hospitals in the FCT are not completely shut down due to the strike.“Yes, all the health unions are on strike, but doctors are not. In FCT, our doctors are providing skeletal services just because they cannot perform all the duties of other health workers.
The Emergency doctor was overheard explaining to a patient that she couldn’t admit him due to the strike but would refer him to another hospital if his condition was critical.
