LunagisthubNigerian Medical Association Threatens Strike Over Sacked Doctors
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) FCT Chapter has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Primary Healthcare Board, threatening to embark on an indefinite strike if three sacked doctors are not reinstated. The association claims the doctors were unjustly suspended and demands their unconditional reinstatement.
The NMA FCT Chapter argues that the sacking of the three doctors was unfair and has significant implications for the healthcare system in the FCT. The association has given the FCT Primary Healthcare Board a deadline of June 30, 2025, to reinstate the doctors, failing which they will commence a total and indefinite strike.
The proposed strike could have far-reaching consequences for healthcare services in the FCT, potentially disrupting medical care for thousands of patients. The NMA’s action underscores the importance of resolving disputes between healthcare workers and government agencies to ensure uninterrupted healthcare services.
The situation highlights the need for dialogue and resolution between the NMA and the FCT Primary Healthcare Board. A swift resolution to the dispute would help prevent disruptions to healthcare services and ensure that patients continue to receive the medical care they need.
