Nigerian doctors down tools again

The fact is we are plainly insensitive as a country or we are simply wicked to our fellow humans...why would a government elected by people simply ignore them till things degenerate. Our healtcare sector is in a mess no doubt but the levels of resistance to efforts to sanitize it by people in the FMOH is mind boggling...one begins to wonder how they ended up being at the helm in the first place.The National Association of Resident Doctors #NARD have cried themselves hoarse,they have appealed,they have pleaded,they have cajoled,they have protested,and have even wore black ward coats to no avail..all has fallen on deaf ears..now they have embarked on a 7day warning strike. as at writing this report over 40 federal and state tertiary health institutions are in avoidable coma. in the coming days mortality and morbidity will increase but our government officials and family members will simply move abroad to treat migraines. they will simply follow the foot steps of their master .if only their master would do his medical check up in Nigeria, all the Chief Medical Directors will sit up and do their jobs.today we are 187th out of 191 in the health indices recently released by WHO.

This year i have vowed not to complain much. So am going to spare you the misery of my wailings..the wailing of a discouraged doctor...i will just give you the communique by the National Association of Resident Doctors and the Nigerian Medical Association..read and be the judge of how we we are now the 3rd from behind in the health indices of Africa.
