Medical doctors at the Infectious Disease Hospital, IDH, Akure, Ondo State have stopped attending to patients itted at the facility.

The development followed the increasing figures of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Sunshine State.

The doctors under the aegis of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners, NAGGMDP, blamed the state government led by Rotimi Akeredolue, on the manner at which the COVID-19 pandemic was being handled in the state.

IDH is where patients with infectious diseases such as LASSA fever and COVID-19 are treated.

The State Secretary of NAGGMDP, Dr. Olasakinju Tunde, who announced the doctors’ withdrawal of service in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday, said it was due to failure of the government to accede to their demands.

The association hinged their reason on government’s failure to conclude negotiations on the erstwhile suspended Minimum Wage and Consequential Adjustments already enjoyed by the Non-Medical Staff Since January 2020, inadequate supply of personal protective equipments (PPE) and the general welfare of our which include Life Insurance for frontline doctors.

The doctors had during a congress requested that who are the COVID19 specialists at the IDH to continue to work till Thursday morning, 2nd July 2020 in the interest of the general public and particularly confirmation of the COVID19 Status of Mr. Governor.

Following the non-compliance with the earlier directive, the association directed that “it is imperative that our be withdrawn immediately (from midnight today 6th July 2020) due to lack of the human face expected from the government.”

At least they waited until their governor tested negative.

States are collecting hefty funds to battle covid 19, wonder why doctors aren't getting paid.

ONDO people in their own

God help us

it is better to strike than be like their counterparts in edo

Nice

It's becoming glaring that this ondo state governor has rotten skeletons in his closet...issues upon issue

He should sack them too na, after all he just recently sacked resident doctors in the medical university for giving notice of strike after months of unpaid salaries. Mumu governor.

Why them no go this strike when the governor was still positive?

What While their grievance is real, they should rather minimize treatment rather than withdraw it completely. I am still surprised why our government is not doing its best in providing adequate PPE.

All of these nonsense is for the pocket. Doctors in Nigeria should not for once be celebrated. Everything is all about money.

Naija doctors and strike..

Thunder dey learn work for where..

Nigeria doctor dey..

Stupid politicians and their cultism.....

Devil never gives anything good
