The Nigerian Medical Affiliation (NMA) has referred to as off its strike and resumed full companies at Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano, following a gathering with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
NMA Chairman, Dr. Abdulrahman Ali, confirmed the suspension of the strike, attributing the choice to the governor’s intervention.
In line with Governor Yusuf’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the decision got here after a productive assembly with the governor, the place tensions arising from a misunderstanding between a hospital physician and a state commissioner have been amicably settled.
Dr. Abdulrahman expressed appreciation for the governor’s swift response, noting that it prevented additional disruption to important healthcare companies.
He inspired Kano residents to handle any grievances via applicable channels, assuring them that disputes between sufferers and healthcare staff can be pretty reviewed and resolved.
Earlier within the week, throughout a stay radio interview, Governor Yusuf had urged the docs to rethink their strike, highlighting the potential hurt to susceptible sufferers, particularly pregnant ladies and kids requiring pressing care.
The docs initiated the strike after an alleged assault on a feminine colleague by a member of the governor’s cupboard.
