The Nigerian Medical Association has given the government two weeks to respond.
The federal government has been granted two weeks to begin carrying out the agreements they previously reached, according to the Association of Medical Practitioners of Nigeria.
The appointment follows a three-day gathering of organization leaders that was conducted at the Federal General Hospital in Abeokuta, the state capital of Ogun State.
TV channels stated that instead of the 5.7 percent that the budget now allots to the health sector in Nigeria, doctors there require that 15% of the nation's budget go to healthcare.
According to the medical group, this will only address some of the numerous issues that have plagued the nation's health industry, such as the failure to hire personnel to fill job openings.
Additionally, as soon as possible, the company needs to change the salary structure of its employees so that they receive 200 percent more money than the doctors currently make.
Additionally, the medical association wants to resume paying its members' salaries that have been withheld since 2014, 2015, and 2016.
