The National Association of Resident Doctors, is insisting that it would continue the ongoing nationwide strike until the Federal Government implements the terms of their agreement, including the payment of salary arrears and indemnity for their colleagues who died from COVID-19.
The resident doctors’ strike entered its second day yesterday.
The association’s President, University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Dr Ifeanyi Ofuani, said patients were not being attended to because the strike was total.
Dr Ofuani that, while no resident doctor would attend to any patient, whether emergency or otherwise, consultants were however on the ground to attend to emergency patients.
When reminded of a claim by the Federal Government that it had reached an agreement with the association, Dr Ofuani said no agreement has been reached with the Federal Government adding that the association is tired of signing another memorandum of understanding, which it started since 2014 without being honoured.
