 And the National Association of Resident Doctors has called on its members to proceed on an indefinite nationwide strike beginning from Monday, August 2nd. The president of the association, Dr. Okaesui Uilawa, said this on Saturday, while briefing newsmen on the resolution reached at its just concluded 2021 National Executive Council meeting held in Umwahia, the Abia State Capitol. Uilawa said the strike became unavoidable after the expiration of the 113 days automaton earlier issued to state and federal governments to address the issues of welfare, training and service delivery by resident doctors. The group accused the federal government of insincerity in implementing its promises to resident doctors as contained in the Memorandum of Action sign before the automaton was issued.
