enny09: Cut d Crap hematologists, chem pathologists,medical microbiologists, pathologists and radiologists are doctors and dey are licensed to do what d lab technicians and radiographers(camera men) do and in addition to dat diagnose and treat, about d nurses dere is no where it is said dat a doctor can't do d work of a nurse we just opted out so we can make d work less stressful 4 ourselves. Nobody is insulting any profession, its just dat u have chosen to look down on urselves and hence has been consumed with inferiority complex. The Hospital is d Doctors constituency and nobody can take dat from us. Afterall even if u get d money to build a hospital, u can't be d chief medical director, what am I even saying, u won't be licensed to practise unless u get a doctor to be ur MD |

This topic getting more interesting. Nigerians have the right to know that NMA and health minister are the cancer in the health sector in this country. Comments made by some physicians clearly show that the had never step out of this country for one or take the advantage of internet to know what operate in developed country. A physician who never had a single course in health admin wants to live the clinic for administration of hospitals. They claim to know all and do all yet two day strike by other health professionals has nearly collapse all hospital services. Health care delivery is collaboratory where things work. Every got respect and dignity for their relevance. But it not so in Nigeria wher physicians and their kitchen minister spend more time deceiving Nigeria that they are all in all. Friend,, this strike is not about increase in salary at all. It is about fairness and justice. The minister took health workers to court and they won gallantly. Let the ruling of the court be obey. He now claim that he cannot obey bc the judgement is confusing. This is the antics of a frustrated and confused man. It is unfortunate that the patients have to be discharged from various hospitals. The man to be held responsible is the health minister,, who has been busy doing nothing. 3 Likes |

Nigeria Medical Workers Strike: Let Us All Die! By FEJIRO OLIVER Silence never won rights. They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressure from below---Roger Baldwin I have tried very hard to restrain myself from writing on this tragic strike embarked on by the medical and health workers union in Nigeria, but I can no longer hold myself from writing this short piece, not after what one of the health practitioners ( who prefers to be called doctors ) said in a gathering of intellectuals, that it is the prerogative of Nigerian Medical Association(NMA) members to be appointed as commissioners or ministers of health. Then I knew that he and his colleagues need to have their heads examined. My assertion was later justified when I learnt that he is a psychiatrist specialist who haven mingled with mad men for years have lost his sense of reasoning. Call it pride or being boastful, but I can humbly say that I have travelled and interacted with men of various professions including foreign health workers who are renowned surgeons, experts who at their magical touch, celebral palsy is gone, but I am yet to come across any who is as pompous as Nigerian graduates of medicine. Let no one say I have been paid for putting up this reports or that I'm one of the other health practitioners; far from it. As I matter of fact, I am married to a member of this arrogant profession. I have two female cousins who are surgeons and graduates of Harvard, not these mushroom universities that the so called medical 'doctors' in Nigeria attended, yet go about with shoulders highly lifted. So you see, when I write with this amount of hurting truth, I'm directly talking to my families. So let it be. I have always been an advocate that the term 'doctor' be reserved for the academics that go the extra mile to obtain the highest educational degree, not a bunch of opportunists who dumped the appellation of physician for a more worthy title. For all the years that I have read my bible, Christ or any of the leaders there always addressed health workers as physicians while he refers to the highly educated ones as 'doctors of law'. What then is this craze by these general body physicians that they control the health sector? What gave the NMA president, Mr. Osahon Enabulele the impetus to tell his colleagues to stand by even as the other medical workers go striking? My visit to a hospital today in Lagos made a mess of 'General' Osahon order who feel that they can do the work they are not trained for. Various calls made to my colleagues in other states to confirm the state of the hospitals where they reside confirm that the entire hospital has been grounded. I have never had a cause to be treated by any of the general body physician in my life and will never be, but I have had reasons to see a medical laboratory scientist; yes, I have lost count of reasons where nurses who do all the dirty jobs have attended to me. I have seen a family friend died when a physician who cannot carry out a test asked him to go out of the hospital gate to do a test before treatment could be carried out, but died on the way, holding the test result. I have visited a hospital where a physician was truthful enough to tell a stroke patient that they are not trained to handle such cases, telling him bluntly that his hope of walking lie with a doctor of physiotherapy (DPT). I am reliably informed by one of the NMA executive that the only medical profession that they don't have the faintest idea of how they work is the DPT, and yet one still ask, why the discrepancy among them. It is only in Nigeria that a common appointed minister is above the court of law. If it were not so, who is Mr. Onyebuchi Chukwu to disobey a court order, asking him to effect all the demands of NUMPTAM/JOHESU. Let the truth be told, their demand is just, fair and worthy. Why must other government workers skip grade level 11 and the minister gives autocratic orders that all other medical workers apart from physicians must not skip it? What manner of working practice is it that clinical specialist are not paid specialist allowance, when NMA members enjoy such? What outdated manner of man is the minister of health to give a directive that Chief Medical Directors of hospitals should be only from NMA, when DPT, Optometry and pharmacists are leading players in the field of medicine? While I do not make claims for the medical practitioners, I advocate for their rights been given to them. That only NMA members should be appointed as CMDs leaving other medical professions out amounts to saying only graduates of Banking/Finance should head the Central Bank of Nigeria, when there are graduates of accountancy and economics in the profession, or succinctly put; that only graduates of political science should hold political positions when they have partners in graduates of government and public administration. The position of a CMD is equivalent to chief executive officer and should be filled by any qualified medical practitioners, ditto commissioners and ministers of health. For a minister to flagrantly disobey a court order and gets away with it is another dent of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. It goes to show that Mr. Jonathan day as a vice president were simply wasted years, since he could not learn the 'rule of law' from President Musa Yaradua, which was the bench mark of that administration. For Christ sake, what manner of ministers do we have? Let someone tell Onyebuchi that we don't have a minister of NMA but health. Can Mr. Jonathan be bold enough to sack this man who the medical workers have recommended his sack since last year? Can this man resign his position as a minister to allow a true health expert take over? With this medical strike and ASUU strike, a serious president would have asked both ministers to submit their resignation letters, but not Nigeria president. This is the price a leader pay when he leaves experts and technocrats to appoint political thieves in office. It is time Nigerians call the bluff off these physicians once and for all the way Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State did last year. It is time Nigerians tell them that they are like the gatemen in the various government ministries and should not use their pride to cause innocent Nigerians to die in the hospitals with no medical officer to attend to them. I feel their pains as they lie down in their various wards, praying for the strike to be called off. I have been in their shoes losing loved ones not because there are no physicians, but there was no medical lab scientist to carry out a test. I have been to the physiotherapist department in various Nigerian hospitals and see people wriggling in pains, mothers crying to have their husbands treated of strokes, children treated of ebbs palsy, facial nerve and numerous medical conditions, yet there was no hope as the DPTs are on strike. I have known an operation successfully carried out, but because of the absence of a nurse to take care of the patient; we lost him. This is the pain I feel. Pains that the medical workers don't feel, as they forget the Hippocratic Oath the very minute they leave the medical college. The minister of health is not fit for such a sensitive position and while his cronies in NMA who his presence is shielding will not agree to his sack, let the ears of the president listen to his medical colleagues who know his ineptitude and have called for his removal. It is not too late to bring back Mrs. Dora Akunyili who I reliably gathered was penciled as health minister, during the Olusegun Obasanjo regime, before the NMA politics went through the back door to stop it. If this strike will claim the lives of all Nigerians before the minister of health will be removed; so be it. An African proverb says, 'Until you lose a loved one before you realize that other dead bodies are not sticks' To you striking medical practitioners; today I say to you: remember you are fighting more than your own fight, you are fighting for the future of your profession and you must stand together. Break your chains and demand your rights, for united you bargain but divided you beg. If there is no struggle, progress is stagnated. May the blood of all the patients that may die as a result of this strike, rest on Mr. Onyebuchi Chukwu and his generations, now and forever more; amen.

FG APPEAL STALLS RESOLUTION OF HEALTH CRISIS August 23, 2013 by | Filed in news | No comments Federal government has appealed to the ruling of the National Industrial Court (NIC) into its labour dispute with health workers who went on indefinite nationwide strike Wednesday midnight. The appeal in court stopped its implementation of agreements reached with members of Joint Health Sector Unions last May. Health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu is to meet with JOHESU on Monday in hopes of a dialogue but he appealed that striking workers be considerate about the plight of thousands of Nigerians denied health services on account of their industrial action. The minister said the agreements could not be acted upon immediately because the appeal was pending in court. He said the appeal was filed on the advice of government legal counsel and served on JOHESU because the NIC ruling asking government to negotiate with workers intent on skipping a pay level and to allow consultants appointed in error outside the ministry to continue in their position was “confusing.” But JOHESU—an umbrella body of nurses, midwives, pharmacists, technicians— has denied knowledge of any appeal filed and accused the health ministry of “shifting the goal in the middle of the game.” JOHESU president Dr Ayuba Wabba said both parties, in a collective bargain agreement reached before the dispute went to NIC in June 2012 at the behest of the labour ministry. “There was an agreement and understanding that whatever the outcome of the NIC judgement, every party shall respect and implement the judgment,” Wabba said. “It wasn’t us that took the case to NIC, it was government through the instrument of the minister of labour. You can’t shift the post in the middle of the game.” |

on a good day:Please stop misinforming the public. Pharmacists be it clinical or not do not prescribe drugs. They manufacture and dispense drugs. If a patient undergoes surgery eg prostatectomy and the doctor writes diagnosis post prostatectomy, what will the pharmacist prescribe? Prescriptions are tailored to each individual patient. It is not a mass production process. Based on the history and examination and lab findings a doctor may decide to give different drugs to patients with the same diagnosis. Does everyone with malaria get to take the same drug? Lab scientists do not give definitive diagnosis. They carry out the requested investigation. If a stroke patient comes down with fever and an mp is requested, which later comes out positive, is the definitive diagnosis now malaria? Pls stop misinforming the public. 1 Like |

It is clearly a huge pity that these issues are such that would be discussed extensively. It is a known fact that medicine has become really diversified and the roles of the different players in the health sector rather broadened. This is a global approach: the patient is the most important factor in this equation (although really an unballanced equation in this country). Reading closely thru the discussion in this thread, it is obvious that the rights and boundaries of the several players in the health sector has been trampled upon for a protracted period! Refering to the US, it is obvious that expanded roles exists for the Nurse (we now have Nurse Practitioner)))n the Pharmacist(Dr of Pharmacy), the Clinical/Medical Laboratory Scientist(Doctor of Clinical Lab Sciences) Physiotherapy (Doctor of Physio) etc. This goes a long way to show that the field of medicine is becoming more specialised and as such requires such trained and specialised professionals for the common good, the good og the patient! Why muct the Nigerian case be any different. Consultants exist for every profession in the UK. There are Consultant Biomedicla scientists and earn as high or even higher than lots of the doctors. If Doctors have left clinical practice for lab medicine, y can't other professions also extend their scope of practice? In all health schools, we have what is called basic medical science (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry) which forms the basis of the different professions...so y then do doctors say they do everything in medical sch? Gues we all did everything! That doesn't mean because I did pharmacology as an MLS student that I am a pharmacologist or can work in a pharmacy! Even students with a BSc degree in pharmacology do not have the license to work in a hospital pharmacy! What is the fuss all about 1 Like |
