The resident doctors embarked on an indefinite industrial action on 26 July following the failure of the Nigerian government to meet their demands
The doctors are demanding, among other issues, the immediate payment of the 2023 Medical Residency Training Fund , tangible steps on the “upward review” of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure , and payment of all salary arrears owed its members since 2015.
The doctors also want the immediate massive recruitment of clinical staff in the hospitals and the abolishment of the bureaucratic limitations to the immediate replacement of doctors and nurses who leave the system. They also want the immediate review of hazard allowance by all the state governments and private tertiary health institutions where any form of residency training is done.
The resident doctors comprise the bulk of medical personnel in Nigeria’s tertiary hospitals; hence health activities are mostly crippled when they are on strike.
