What happened to live n let live that johesu memmbers re shouting in other threads. Whn johesu goes on strike 'its legal' but when nma does the same its deemed illegical. Very funny. If u re that relevant y not jst take over the hospital now n proove ur worth so the whole nation know. Rather than crying foul n running to court because of ur inadequacies. The name itsef is an aberration JOHESU( joint health sector union). So doctors no dey the health sector again or na doctor sector doctors dey. An alliance based on hatred/gread will definitely be scattered by greed on the long run. If u re that important n relevant like u want the public to belif 1. Each body will fight for themselves no teaming up againt doctors. Let's imagine God forbid that FG agrees and allowed wanabes to attain Cmdd , within 2yrs in fighting will start na only nurses or pharmacist dey becom Cmdd dem no allow others . Even porters n cleanners will want to bcom cmdd. Atleast they re part of johesu and they all fought n won. 2. U will leave the striking doctors n even be happy they re not around cos u will asuume controL and manage patient successfully n the public will even sing ur prais and say to hell wth tHe doctors cos their absence was not felt. But we all know the truth of the matter. Going to Court in Nigeria is time wasting stragethy. Thhe court wud adjourn till eternity. Or maybe that ur hope tht the court will ask that status be maintained vis-a-vis fg aggrement witj u. I for one am tired of this write, idleness is bring n killing, even no Dr wud want to go on strike but that's the only language the govt understands even that one sef. Its like they only respect a lasting one ASUU 6mth+ asup 10mth+ coeasu like 10mth theReeabt. I pray this impasse is setteled on time Well we all sidon dey look. And see the end of this season film. 1 Like |

I have sat back to observe this situation so far. And this is my problem with doctors, they are always babbling and ranting, yet avoiding the core of the matter. Why not address the issue at hand rather than flaunting ur usual vain ego? The FG has challenged doctors to a public debate on this issue but doctors do know most of the demands on their 24-point agenda are unjustifiable. How dare you try to frustrate other health professionals from attaining the peak of their career. Who has made u gods? It's not done anywhere in the world! Nigerians have grown, they have become more enlightened hence doctors cannot gather any public sympathy as far as this strike is concerned. Majority of the masses dislike doctors already cuz of their overbearing attitude. A lot of doctors claim that Nigeria is not yet ripe for consultancy status to be initiated for other health professionals, fearing that there will be confusion in the system, yet they believe Nigeria is mature enough to have a Surgeon-general, for doctors to be paid as much as thr foreign counterparts and for them to have customized plate-numbers on their cars. Whatever happened to asking the government to streamline the practice by boldly outlining the job descriptions of a consultant pharmacist, consultant lab-scientist, etc as distinguished from a consultant doctor so as to avoid the so-called feared clashes. That would have seemed a more reasonable demand to make. It baffles me that in this 21st century where the yearning of every developing country is to attain international best practices, our Nigerian doctors can stand up and scream that what is obtainable in many climates in the world should not be adopted by Nigeria. As a matter of fact if priority is to be given in adopting any latest technology/methodology/guideline/policy/, such priority should be delegated in adopting developments related to health practices because human life is involved. There is no practice too early to adopt anywhere in the world as long as it will improve health and boost the quality of human life. The consultancy training and title Doctors are trying to deny others from undergoing and attaining has always been in existence for years in saner climates. The Pharm D program that Nigerian Pharmacy schools are gradually adopting for example has been running in the US and other western countries since the 80's. It is also running across all the Pharmacy schools in Ghana, SA, even Kenya amongst other African countries. For how long do we keep giving excuses? The usual insinuation by doctors that other health professionals are a collection of frustrated individuals who dropped out of medical schools or could not secure admission to study medicine is a laughable ego-induced generalization. I have a lot of colleagues who have genuine passion for what they studied in school. I for example scored 286 (enough to grant me admission into medical college) in one JAMB-sitting and went straight to apply for Pharmacy which I studied, and so did it go for a number of my friends. Doctors have really had it their ways over the years in Nigeria, From the continual insistence that only doctors be made ministers of health and CMDs in public hospitals to using their over-exalted positions to intimidate and cow the government into yielding to their ever greedy demands. The time has come for other professionals to have their voices heard. Power is changing hands, and the time is now! 12 Likes |

This is one of the most dicey matters in recent times. The Nigerian health sector is laden with a time bomb and JOHESU just pulled the plug off another grenade by suing NMA. Looking at the Hippocratic Oath sworn by doctors and the practise of medicine, one will realise that only very little of that Oath, if any, has been violated. I can categorically say that no doctor is at home sleeping. They are all working, saving lives somewhere, still having the patients as their primary objective but within the private setting. Now we must realise that a patient is a patient be it in the public or in the private setting so I could boldly say there's no violation of the oath. Looking at the claim by JOHESU that NMA is not a registered trade union and as such cannot embark on any industrial action or movement, this can only highlight the exact holistic aim of the union, which is to dethrone the doctor via a professional coup. They move to distort the sanity in the sector, and yet wants to tie the doctor to his consulting chair. I wouldn't give a thought to the claim holding waters but peradventure it does, the government, the judiciary, the patients, the general public and every parties involved should realise that 1) There is a contractual agreement between every employer of labour and her employee and if any breach is observed, either party can pull out. 2) Every doctor in the country has the right to decide which sector to work in, be it public or private. It all depends on choice and sanity of the environs. 3) There is no violation/abandonment of the Hippocratic Oath should every doctor in the country decide to practise within the private setting. This is because the practise of medicine is patient centered and not sector centered.. Etcetera.. The Nigerian Health Sector is highly volatile at the moment and should be approached with utmost caution. I appreciate that both parties have reasonable claims. Nonetheless, the outcome of this unnecessary/unhealthy professional rivalry is in all our hands. ... And yes, I am a Doctor.. 8 Likes |

Don't u know that NMA is not a registered trade union and therefore doesn't have the constitutional right to negotiate or push for any demands ? If u are to make any argument, make it on this basis and stop ranting. JOHESU have found a loophole on the Doctors' side to explore and they strategizing really well. Don't forget a lot of things in this country are political. If you don't shine your eyes and make the right noise at the right time, u are most likely going to the abandoned.

1. The post of Deputy Chairman Medical Advisory Committee (DCMAC) has been circularised and operational. Rather than abolish it, the NMA hereby demands that four (4) DCMACs for teaching hospitals and three (3) for the Federal Medical Centres be appointed forthwith to assist the CMACs whose statutory responsibilities are too heavy for any single individual to handle. Directors in other government agencies are supported by several Deputy Directors, why not the CMAC who is also a Director? Such a DCMAC must have same qualifications as the CMAC. 2. The NMA is opposed to the appointment of Directors in the Hospitals. This position distorts the chain of command in the hospital, induces anarchy and exposes the patient to conflicting treatment and management directives with attendant negative consequences. 3. The NMA demands that grade level 12 (CONMESS 2) in the health sector MUST be SKIPPED for medical doctors. Consequently no medical/dental practitioners should be on that grade level anymore. 4. The title “CONSULTANT” in a hospital setting describes the relationship between the Specialist Medical Doctor and his patient. It will be a source of confusion if the title is applied to any other health worker who statutorily does not own patient. NMA, therefore, declares with unmitigated emphasis that if “non-doctor consultants” are appointed, it will lead to chaos and anarchy in the health sector. This should not happen. 5. Relativity in health sector is sacrosanct. The NMA hereby demands for immediate implementation of the January 3rd, 2014 circular. The NMA also demands the immediate payment of the arrears of the corrected relativity for 22 years during which her members were short changed. Much as we are not against salary increase for any category of workers, either in health or elsewhere, the NMA demands for immediate adjustment of the doctors’ salary to maintain the relativity as agreed and documented once CONHESS is adjusted. 6. That Government should expedite the passage of the National Health Bill (NHB), and extend Universal Health Coverage to cover 100% of Nigerians and not 30% as currently prescribed by National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). 7. Surgeon General of the Federation MUST be appointed with immediate effect. 8. The entry point of the House Officer should be corrected to CONMESS 1 step 4 as originally contained in MSS/MSSS while the Registrar/Medical Officer is moved to CONMESS 3 step 3. 9. Clinical duty allowance for Honorary Consultants should be increased by 90% of CONMESS 10. Adjust the specialist allowance as contained in the 2009 collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, ALL doctors on CONMESS 3 and above MUST be paid specialist allowance or its equivalent that is not less than 50% higher than what is paid to other health workers. 11. Hazard allowance MUST be at least N100, 000 per month for Medical Doctors. 12. Immediate release of the circular on rural posting, teaching and other allowances which MUST include house officers. 13. Immediate withdrawal of the CBN circular authorizing the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) to approve licenses for the importation of In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs). 14. Immediate Release of Circular on retirement age for Medical Doctors as agreed with the Federal Government (FG) 15. The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Health should formalise and implement the report of the interagency committee on residency training as well as release the uniform template on appointment of Resident Doctors in line with earlier agreements. Moreover, a concrete Funding framework for residency training must be established. The Overseas clinical attachment must be fully restored and properly funded in the interest of the nation. 16. That in the interest of harmony in Federal Medical Centre, Owerri the government should pay the salaries of our members in the centre as agreed on 21st October, 2013. 17. Immediate concrete steps must be put in place for the reintegration of our members back into the IPPIS platform. 18. All attempts to coerce house officers not to join NARD must stop. 19. The orchestrated intimidation, harassment and physical assault of our members in departments of Pathology (Laboratory Medicine) by Laboratory Scientists which is being tolerated by the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) must stop. 20. The Endless circle of incomplete salary payment to our members in many hospitals in the name of shortfalls in personnel cost must stop. 21. Universal applicability of all establishment circulars on the remuneration and conditions of service for doctors at all levels of Government must be guaranteed. 22. Government should as a matter of urgency set up a health trust fund that will enhance the upgrading of all hospitals in Nigeria. 23. The position of Chief Medical Director/Medical Director must continue to be occupied by a Medical Doctor as contained in the Act establishing the tertiary Hospitals. This position remains sacrosanct and untouchable. 24. The NMA henceforth shall not accept the continued violation of any of the terms of the 2009 Collective Bargaining Agreement. This is exemplified by the payment of Medical Physicists and Optometrists with OD (who are on CONHESS) call duty allowance using the CONMESS Circular. Similarly, the phrase “Ministries, Departments and Agencies” (MDA) in the said agreement should replace “Federal Ministry of Health and other Federal Health Institutions” as contained in the 2009 CONMESS Circ i think most of these demands are pervaded with greed |

Doctors can nurse patients but they don't do it because it is not their job description. Doctors work in radiology departments, they are called radiologists. There are doctors who specialise on the action of drugs in humans and how drugs interact with the human body and how drugs interact with other drugs. They are called pharmacologists and toxicologists. If JOHESU has a problem with NMA demands, they should be pestering the govt, not NMA because NMA is not demanding anything from them. Why would an association sue another association for embarking on strike action? And you're here talking trash. Where is your common sense, bro?

house37:While I ignore your predictable and very usual jibes,who says thisnt freedom of association?ofcos u can associate as you so wish but u av no right watsoeva to assume the status of a labour union,make demands and call for strikes when u are not one.If u don't understand the issue,that's why JOHESU went to court.It is then left to the court to make its pronouncement which all parties MUST comply with.I'm expecting an ex-parte order which will compel NMA to go back to work until d determination of the substantive suite tho. |

hehehe So many funny comments, i can't just imagine how dump people can be. Freedom of this, freedom of that.... We have a constitution, Nigeria subscribed to the rule of law, it is not by mouth. There are laws, rules and regulations. It is not compulsory you work with the government, if the terms and conditions doesn't suit you. You have the right to private practice if you can abide by its rules also. Let the court decides. I remember doctors tried it with Gov. Fayemi in Ekiti, let them tell us the outcome. "Kosi bi irun imu alagbase se gun to, eni to gboko fun loga e" Except doctors want their own parallel constitution. |
