We are now living as though we don't have a president 😭

The body made this known in a statement signed by Dr Princeston Okam and Dr Ifeanyi Obiaeli, Chairman and Secretary, respectively, at the end of its emergency general on Thursday.

It said the directive followed the kidnap of their colleague, Dr Stephen Ezeh, who was kidnapped on August 15 and still being held in captivity since then.

Recall that the doctors had on August 19 threatened to shut down operations across the state if Ezeh was not freed from captivity after 48 hours.

The association expressed dismay that 48 hours after the ultimatum and the appeal to the state
government had elapsed, Ezeh was still languishing in the hands of his abductors in spite of his health challenges.

The statement read in part, “NMA Anambra branch hereby directs all doctors in the state to forthwith withdraw clinical services in all federal, state, private, mission, institutional and corporate hospitals in the state until our member is released.

“That NMA Anambra will painstakingly monitor compliance with the above directive through her ‘Strike monitoring team’ and that defaulting hospitals and members will be blacklisted and penalised in line with congress resolutions.

“That Anambra State government should activate all necessary security agencies and instruments at its disposal to ensure ‘timely and unconditional’ release of our abducted member.

“NMA Anambra State is not oblivious to the hardship this withdrawal of services will cause the good people of Anambra. However, we appeal to the State government to expedite action towards securing the release of our colleague so as to restore normalcy to the health system.

“NMA Anambra leadership will continue to brainstorm and work together with all relevant government agencies to collectively achieve a healthy and secured populace.”

The NMA commended the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, and the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, for their painstaking effort towards improving healthcare delivery and security in the State.

The body also commended doctors for their resolve and commitment to offering the Anambra people quality health care.
