Abuja – Normal medical services have resumed in various hospitals in the FCT on Monday, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
This followed the expiration of the five days warning strike embarked upon by the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) of Nigeria.
NAN recalls that the association embarked on the strike to press home their demands.
The demands included improved condition of service, payment of remuneration and residency training programmes.
According to the association, some of its members in the states are yet to be paid their salaries, while doctors in Federal Teaching Hospitals were among those whose salaries were yet to be paid.
A NAN correspondent, who visited some of hospitals in Wuse, Garki, Maitama, Asokoro and the National Hospital, observed that patients were full of hope as they were given the needed attention as at when due.
According to some of the patients who spoke in chorus observed that during the strike hospitals operated skeletal services as only two or three doctors were seeing on duty attending to a large number of patients.
The National President of NARD, Dr Mohammed Askira, told NAN on phone that the association would soon make public the level of their engagement with government. (NAN)
