"University Health Workers Reject Strike, Prioritize Patient Welfare"

Health workers in Nigerias tertiary institutions have rejected the ongoing strike action, prioritizing patient welfare and ensuring that medical facilities remain operational despite the industrial action.

• The Coalition of Healthcare Professionals in Tertiary Education Institutions in Nigeria stated that their medical facilities are fully operational, distancing themselves from the National Association of Resident Doctors strike action.
• This decision by health professionals emphasizes a commitment to patient welfare, as they continue to provide essential services amidst ongoing discussions regarding arrears and other concerns with the federal government of the United States.
• Bola Tinubus administration may need to address the underlying issues raised by the strike, particularly concerning residency (medicine) programs and the financial implications for healthcare in Nigeria.
