The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors will hold its National Executive Council meeting today (Wednesday) to determine its next line of action regarding a pending ultimatum to the Federal Government.
The association had earlier issued a 10-day ultimatum to relevant government agencies, warning that members would embark on a nationwide strike if their demands were not met.
The threat arises amid mounting pressure on Nigeria’s fragile public health system, which is already struggling with a shortage of doctors, inadequate infrastructure, and overcrowded hospitals.
Resident doctors, who constitute the majority of the medical workforce in teaching and specialist hospitals, have repeatedly gone on strike in recent years over unpaid wages, poor welfare, and inadequate working conditions.
