 The president of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors NAD Dr. Emeka Oji on Thursday said the National Assembly has invited the association for a meeting on Friday. Resident doctors across 79 tertiary health facilities commenced a five-day warning strike on Wednesday to press home their demands. The doctors are demanding an immediate increment in the consolidated medical salary structure to the tune of 200% of the current gross salaries of doctors. The doctors also want immediate massive recruitment of clinical staff in the hospitals and immediate withdrawal of the bills seeking to compel medical and dental graduates to render five-year compulsory services in Nigeria before being granted full licenses to practice. They also want the immediate implementation of CONMES, domestication of the medical residency training act and review of hazard allowance by all the state governments as well as private tertiary health institutions where any form of residency training is done among others. NAD said work would resume on Monday, May 22nd, 2023 by 8 am.
