Health Workers Protest Proposed Regulatory Bill in Abuja

Health workers staged a protest in Abuja on Thursday against a proposed regulatory bill aimed at the health sector. The demonstration occurred at the Unity Fountain, where health workers expressed their concerns about the implications of the bill currently before the National Assembly.

They argue that the legislation would subordinate medical professionals to a new regulatory body, despite the existence of established regulatory organizations for health professions. The protesters emphasized that the bill could negatively impact the health profession and warned lawmakers about the potential consequences.

They intend to present their concerns directly to the lawmakers later, seeking to influence the legislative process regarding the bill.
