Kwara Doctors’ Forum Ends Strike After Salary Structure Approval
The Kwara State Doctors’ Forum announced the suspension of its seven-day warning strike after the Kwara State government approved a corrected medical salary structure and agreed to stop the two percent health insurance deduction from doctors' earnings. This decision was made following negotiations with the administration of Governor Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
The forum, which includes the Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (Kwara State chapter), the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners, and the Association of Resident Doctors employed by the state government, directed its members to resume professional duties immediately. The approval of the corrected 2025 Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) was described as a significant step in addressing long-standing concerns regarding doctors' remuneration.
The government also committed to engaging with stakeholders for a more inclusive review of the health insurance scheme's implementation and funding.
