Nigerian Resident Doctors Seek President Tinubu's Intervention to Prevent Healthcare System Collapse

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) in Nigeria has written a letter to President Tinubu appealing for his personal intervention to address their grievances. The doctors are demanding the implementation of various promises made by the government, including payment of salaries and arrears, as well as improvements in their welfare and working conditions.

The doctors have given a 30-day ultimatum for their demands to be met, warning of dire consequences if ignored. This action comes after failed attempts to engage with the government on unresolved issues affecting frontline medical workers in the country.
