Nigerian Resident Doctors Mull Nationwide Strike Over Unmet Demands
The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) in Nigeria is considering a nationwide strike as their ultimatum to the Federal Government expires. The ultimatum is due to the government's failure to meet their demands, including payment of outstanding funds and salary arrears, as well as other allowances.
The fragile state of Nigeria's public health sector, characterized by a shortage of doctors and inadequate infrastructure, adds urgency to the situation. NARD has listed specific demands related to payments and allowances that need to be addressed promptly to avert the strike.
The potential strike could further strain an already overwhelmed healthcare system in the country.
