The Nigerian Medical Association has advised the Federal Government to urgently address its 24-point demand or be prepared for an indefinite strike with effect from July 1.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja, President of the association, Dr Kayode Obembe, said that the association was taking the action in order to save the health care delivery system from anarchy that is imminent in the health sector.
The association, among other things, demanded the immediate passage of the National Health Bill, appointment of a Surgeon-General of the Federation, the payment of 100,000 Naira hazard allowance for medical doctors and the skipping of level twelve by medical and dental practitioners.
