THE National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, has suspended its 5-day nationwide warning strike.
NARD made this announcement on Sunday night.
National President of the Association, Dr. Emeka Orji has directed all resident doctors to resume work by 8 am on Monday in all Federal and State Teaching Hospitals, as well as other hospitals where resident doctors are trained.
The doctors began a five-day warning strike in public health facilities across the federation Wednesday last week.
Some of the demands of the doctors include; immediate massive recruitment of clinical staff in the hospitals and abolishment of the bureaucratic limitations to the immediate replacement of doctors and nurses who leave the system.
Immediate infrastructural development in public hospitals with a subsequent allocation of at least 15 percent of the budgetary provisions to health in line with the Abuja declaration of 2001 and immediate increment in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) to the tune of 200 percent of the gross salary of Doctors among others.
