Nigeria Health sector wahala deepens!

-
As predicted, our public healthcare sector is set for another showdown with the federal government over issues ranging from incomplete payment of salaries to the poor state of affairs in most public hospitals. These are issues that have been on the front burner for years. However what makes this most interesting is that The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) have given the federal governmnet 21 days ultimatum to address these issue,and the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) has given the federal governmnet 15days ultimatum to address their own issues. How this plays out in the coming days will be interesting... below is a copy of the communique by the NARD.

Dear friends...may i welcome you to this new year..it is my prayer that we shall do more celebrating than complaining.

I want to notify Nigerians that it is only the members of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) in FMC Owerri that are opposing the reinstatement of the MD and that the national president,Mr Ayubba Wabba, of one of the two  factions of the NLC that gave that ultimatum is a member of JOHESU. It was the same JOHESU members that raise a false alarm against the MD when she blocked the loopholes through which they embezzle hospitals funds . I want Nigerians to ask the members of JOHESU why they do not want the reinstatement of the embattled MD. A cursory look at FMC Owerri will show that the presence of the embattled MD is a threat to some unscrupulous workers who live above their incomes . She i
