The Association of Resident Doctors, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi-Araba, Lagos have embarked on a three days warning strike over the management’s skipping policy for doctors.
The three days warning-strike which began on June 15, Monday, was declared by the ARD Chairman, Dr. Moronkola Ramon.
During a protest within the hospital premises, Ramon warned the hospital management that, all resident doctors may take full action if their demands are not met.
He stated that the hospital management had stopped skipping, that is a policy whereby doctors were given double promotion. Thereby, giving a seven-day ultimatum to the management to implement this policy.
According to Punch, Ramon said, “We also served the 21-day notice needed for us to proceed on an indefinite action if they failed to implement the policy. If they do not after this strike, we will consider an indefinite strike. However, we will be providing emergency services to avert unnecessary loss of lives”.
However, the ARD Chairman, wondered why LUTH is yet to comply with the agreement that the Federal Government had with its national body of the Nigerian Medical Association.
