Release Our Members’ Salaries, Resident Doctors Tell FG

The leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) yesterday called on the federal government to un-flag the accounts of some of its members across the country because of the hardships they are going through.

The body also called on the government to “pay the August salaries of doctors yet to receive their pay following the last strike action by the medical workers.”

The new national president of NARD, Dele Abdullahi Olaitan, made the call during a briefing at the 43rd AGM held in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

He was flanked by other elected executive members of the association.

He said “Although, there have been steps in the right direction, the government needs to expedite the unflagging of the about 20 affected accounts; get them paid and stop the undue hardship the affected doctors are facing.”

He also called for a review of the residency training to improve healthcare delivery.
