Rivers Resident Doctors at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital have on Monday refused to join the nationwide strike embarked upon by the National Association of Resident Doctors, stating
that they could abandon their patients.
Addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt, the President of the UPTH branch of the association, Dr Ameh Ameh, said the doctors’ decision followed extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders. “We have decided that for now, we will not be embarking on the nationwide strike as a local chapter and the reason has to do with the fact that we understand that the leadership of the NMA is negotiating on modalities to actualise some of those demands, besides, we cannot abandon our patients now that they need us most to care for them.”
