The
resident doctors of LUTH embarked on an indefinite strike on September 6, 2013
over the non-payment of about five months’ salary. The situations have
paralyzed the activities of the hospital in the past three weeks.
The
President of the resident Doctors, Doctor Emeka Ugwu told the news agency of
Nigeria that the doctors suspended the strike for the concern they have for
life of their patient and in order to forestall further loss of innocent
Nigerians.
He
said, “We, as resident doctors, constitute a major workforce of the hospital,
and if we continue this strike, work will not go on and we want to avoid
further loss of lives.”
Despites
the fact that most doctors are owned the salary of five months and are also
financially incapacitated the strike was suspended for the sake of lives of the
patients that will suffer for it.
Dr
Emeka said “we decided to suspend the strike in the interest of our patients
which we consider paramount. (NAN)
