LASUTH Resident Doctors Embark On Three-Day Warning Strike

On Monday, resident doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital, Ikeja embarked on a three-day warning strike, following the
failure of the state government to recruit more house officers and
resident doctors.

The President, Association of Resident Doctors, LASUTH, Dr. Balogun
Fatai said the strike was total, involving both emergency and clinical
operations in the hospital. He said that in spite of the agitations of
the association and its meetings with the government and management
officials, there were no signs that new resident doctors would be
engaged in the hospital.

“Although, some House Officers are reporting for work, they are not
enough to call off the strike because the resident doctors that form the
hub of the work force of the hospital have yet to resume duty.

We are made to know that the governor has not yet given the approval
as expected; that is what is stalling the recruitment of new doctors in
the hospital.

That is why we are embarking on a three-day warning strike, which is
total; no member of the association will attend to patients during the
strike,’’ he said.
