Medical Doctors Strikes and Call Out Politicians Wike and Akpabio

Published on


KEY POINTS


  • For three days, ARD FCTA doctors are on a warning strike until the hospital gets its back pay.
  • The doctors invite Wike and Akpabio to see how bad their local public hospitals are working right now.
  • The doctors encourage everyone to wait three days more for their demands to see if officials will meet them before they start the open-ended strike.

Doctors working for the FCT government’s health system started a three-day warning strike to protest unpaid wages and benefits, and to request their working conditions be improved. The warning strike has led to shut down operations in all public hospitals in Abuja.

After giving a three-week notice last year, Dr. George Ebong, ARD FCTA’s leader, announced doctors would enter a three-day strike because the government did not fulfill their demands.

His statement makes clear that the doctor strike has closed access to public hospitals in many parts of the Federal Capital Territory.

Our leaders need to fix this situation right now

Dr. Ebong requested that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Senate President Godswill Akpabio visit public hospitals themselves in order to learn firsthand how bad their facilities need fixing.

If the government doesn’tresolve the doctors’ wait for salaries within three days, doctors vow to stay off work indefinitely.
