Members of the Nigerian
Medical Association and the National Association of Resident Doctors have
threatened to collapse the nation’s health sector should the federal government
fail to withdraw the circular suspending the Residency Training Programme.
The doctors during a
protest in Abuja described the action of President Goodluck Jonathan and the
Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu as an act of desperation.
The President of the National
Association of Resident Doctors, Doctor Jibril Abdullahi said the suspension of
the programme was illegal.
NMA President, Doctor Kayode
Obembe called on the federal government to rescind its decision and offer unconditional
reinstatement of the sacked doctors.
He also warned the
affected doctors against collecting any sack letter or sign any register opened
in any hospital.
