The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has lamented the poor working condition of doctors working in Nigeria’s healthcare system as it called on the relevant authorities and government at different levels to take the safety of the work environment very seriously.
The FCT NMA Chairman, Dr Charles Ugwuanyi, in a press conference on Sunday, at the thanksgiving mass to kick-Start the 2023 NMA-FCT week programme, also implored all members across the country to take the message to the different levels of government in their various states
He added that added members are having a very major challenge in the medical industry where the few doctors that are left in the country have been receiving lots of threats from the government as regards clamping down on their pay simply because they have come out once more to ask for their due which government has promised a long time but has not been able to fulfill.
Ugwuanyi also called on the government not to take steps that further worsen the precarious situation of medical service delivery in the country
