 The Association of Resident Doctors, University of Ilaurian Teaching Hospital has identified incessant assault on its members for social amenities and massive low manpower as major challenges treating effective performance of its members in the last one year. The outgoing president of the Association, Dr. Mubarak Vijaya, disclosed these while addressing journalists ahead of its 40th annual general meeting in Ilaurian state capital. According to the outgoing president of the Association, Dr. Mubarak Vijaya, the last one year has been the most challenging one for members considering the level of assault on doctors by relatives of patients in adequate social amenities and massive low manpower which requires the federal government's attention. There are a lot of challenges that we faced during this executive year. Our first was an assault case that happened at A&E and we were able to actually show our grievances to the patient and their relatives and we are aware that there are issues and some systemic stuff within the hospital but we feel that patient and relatives should challenge their grievances to the right way. Other things that we have done this year has been the issue of a low manpower or as the country is despite the recruitment process we are back to where we were last year in the sense that some of our members have passed their exams. They are now fellows and they left the system because they are yet there's no opportunity to be retained within UIT so they went elsewhere to work. Dr. Vijaya also advised the federal government to consider granting waivers to the University of Ilaurian Teaching Hospital with a view to recruiting more doctors in the health institution. The workload is also high so we are hoping that something will be done in that regard. I also want to please the federal government to please assist the hospitals in getting them waiver as soon as possible so that the recruitment process can be eased up and can be done about that. The association however maintained that more of its members may still migrate out of the country to the U.S. in search of greener pastures giving better working environment as a major reason.
