Resident Doctors Begin Nationwide Strike Action Today by nas00(m): 3:43pm On Jun 26, 2013 |
The National Association of Resident Doctors has ordered its members nationwide to embark on a three-day warning strike from Wednesday. http://mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/news/resident-doctors-begin-warning-strike-on-wednesday/ |

Here is someone's online reaction to the NARD strike: "There are many departments of government where funding is inadequate. Why should the doctors take exception? Police, sports, the ministries and parastatals are all underfunded. The doctors are arrogant and insensitive. Moreover doctors should be banned by legislation from going on strike. When they resume their strike will they resurrect those who might have died because of their action?" Well, I'd say that is a layman's viewpoint. Cos if we consider this issue critically, the doctors are not only struggling for themselves, but for the average common man. For instance, many teaching hospitals are without basic equipment needed to train residents (and manage patients). You see situations when patients have to travel from Port-Harcourt to LUTH just to have an MRI done, or patients asked to take a blood sample from UCH to pathcare (an NGO) in lagos, simply due to lack of hospital facility to provide these services. If a UCH patient dies before the result of his blood test returns from lagos, who will resurrect him? OR if the patient traveling from PH to Lagos dies on the way (either due to illness or accident), who will resurrect him/ her? Are these deaths any doctor's fault? In my opinion, these are the things NARD is asking for. Better funding of the training programme will translate to: 1. More facility 'n equipment for training in teaching hospitals. Particularly machines used to further investigate patients' condition, which guuides the doctor in better treating the patients. 2. More hands, which will significantly reduce the number of hours patients spend on clinic visits, waiting to see the doctor. These, I believe, are the things NARD is asking the FG for, which is very much in order. Who buys my ideas? 40 Likes |

on a good day: Lol.. You still don't get it. It's a two-way advantage: The doctor receives standard training, the patient receives standard care. Remember the world of medicine is not that static. New discoveries are made everyday. The way malaria was treated in 1990 is not the same today. I don't think it's greed when you ask for things to be done the right way Cheers. 8 Likes |

on a good day: Very good bro. Now, I'm beginning to enjoy the flow. To your first link: https://m.facebook.com/NURSINGNIGERIA/posts/251204728335575 I've gone through it, and it seems to me you still don't get the point. From that link, I did not see any request for improved quality of healthcare, whether in terms of request for more human resources or equipment to better position the nurses, pharmacists or what have you in the efficient discharge of their duties. What I saw is an agitation for double promotion (skipping a level or sth) etc. This is in no way similar to what NARD is asking for. Increased funding of residency training means making the nigerian teaching hospitals perfectly conducive for the standard training of doctors and better patient care. That is, telling FG to give the teaching hospitals the facilities they lack. We complain that politicians and wealthy nigerians travel abroad for the slightest treatment. I think it's because they know nigerian teaching hospitals lag behind in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic facilities. Likewise, many doctors, nurses, pharmacists etc leave the shores of this country to practice in a 'saner' environment in the developed world. Do you think they just wanted to leave for no reason? A major reason why many do so is in order to have better job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is not just a function of how much you earn, but the ability to do your job efficiently and get results within the shortest possible time. I tell you, the nigerian system can be very frustrating. Again, I think the NARD is on the right path. If they wanted increased wages, they will say like they have done in the past. This is not a request for more wages but a request for sanity. Thanks. I'll be right back with comments on your other links. 10 Likes |

nas 00: Young man, I get point. It is well articulated. Bt ma grouse wit d strike action is dat docs r takin it personal, as if in d hospitals dey r d ones dat do all d works. Nw ua goin on strike coz of lack of equipments(if at all), forgettin dat dis same lack of equipment, among oda tins also affect oda health care practitioners. It wld av made sense if d headline read: healthcare practitioners (docs , pharms,nurses and labs) embark on strike due to lack of equipment among oda tins. Make ur struggle a comprehensive and less political one. Little wonda y most pple r interpreting dis as greed, selfishness, arrogance etc of d docs (I am even tempted to join dem). 4 Likes |

on a good day:Its obvious this young man is one of the support staff in the hospital who blindly disagree with any agitation by the progressives to move the health system/hospital forward. All patients come to the hospital to see the doctor, all hand must therefore be on deck to make this a comfortable experience for both parties. Nice post nas00. Kudos NARD! 3 Likes |

@'on a good day': Your second link is essentially the same as the first. Third link ain't got no content. Last link talks about the national health bill, where everyone is demanding for health reforms, pharmacists, lab scientists, nurses and all inclusive. It'll be nice to have the necessary ammendment made and the bill signed by the executive for the better of all. Again, I there was no point where I read that certain doctors antagonised improved TRAINING of other health professionals. Therefore, let FG make the necessary provisions for training world class specialists in our obodo 9ja It is possible, cos if India, a developing country like Nigeria is making sense in that regard, then, with our vast human and material resources, all that remains is a government willing to achieve these things. 5 Likes |

I work in an hospital environment, and I know this doctors are well payed, but if they are fighting for increase in their salary or in any sort of allowance, I will say that's a very callous attitudes from the doctors but if they are asking for better facilities to be able to treat the patients better, I will totally supports them. |

I believe pple shud start opening their eyes to see nd not blinded by the unboastful fact that doctors are the most paid in the health sector. B4 nko...who's's supposed to be the most paid...are they not the head of the team. Well, the fight isnot not just doctors by the way...its for the patients and the health sector as a whole....for God's sakes, if the residency trainingprogramme is well funded. OJB won't be flyin abroad for kidney transplant...the whole of Ogn state can't boast of a single MRI machine...this is basic care the pple reequire... 3 Likes |
