The Joint Health Sector Union of the the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital has threatened to withdraw their services and shut down operations at the hospital.
The doctors on Friday staged a protest in Rivers State to kick start an indefinite strike to press home their demands.
They, however, said that they could withdraw their plans if the management heeds their request of regularising their grade level promotions and salaries as and when due.
The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Professor Aaron Ojule, noted that the demands of the protesters were before the Federal Ministry of Health.
Some of the health professionals have also asked that the issues be resolved quickly for the good of patients at the hospital.
