Patients receiving medical attention at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia are calling on the Federal Government to save the health care system and resolve the issues of the resident doctors for the sake of the citizens.
A visit to FMC Umuahia revealed that there is no strike action as the resident doctors and other medical personnel are on hands attending to the patients.
Thus making the impact of the NARD Nationwide strike action insignificant, every attempt made to speak with the resident doctors were not successful.
However, at the wards, patients with critical conditions who are receiving medical attention are appealing to Federal Government to put necessary measures to end incessant strike action by the resident doctors.
But the Centre Public Relation Officer, Chimezirim Darlynton, noted that the needs of the patients are a priority which is why the resident doctors at the centre are yet to comply with the nationwide strike.
As the National Association of Resident Doctors have given the Federal Government conditions for suspension of the strike, Nigerians and those in dare need of medical care are waiting to see how the table will turn.
