The strike will continue until the government meets our demands - Nigerian Doctors
The Nigerian Association of Medical Practitioners (NARD) has reiterated its position to continue the strike until the government of the country meets its demands.
This is coming at a time when the group is entering its fourth year since the start of the strike that has not been seen in the country.
The president of the association, Dr. Emeka Oji, disclosed this during a press conference held by the association in Lagos, in the southwest of the country.
He said the union will continue the strike until there is significant progress from the federal government, in order to review the demands of the union.
Dr. Oji also said that the management committee of their union is calling on the federal and state governments to quickly pay the union's demands to avoid the continuation of the strike, which he said could disrupt the health sector of the country.
The Nigerian Association of Medical Practitioners (NARD) has 15,000 members out of the more than 40,000 doctors in the country.
The national union is on strike, while the National Medical Association (NMA) is not on strike.
Then Dr. Oji said that they will continue to contact the National Medical Association (NMA) to ensure that it joins them in joining the strike.
