Resident Doctors Give Two-Week Ultimatum to FG over Unmet Demands
The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has issued a two-week deadline to the Federal Government to address unmet welfare and professional demands of its members.
The Nigerian doctors' group has been pressing the government for improved working conditions, salary increases, and better healthcare facilities at public hospitals. Failure to meet these demands by August 28th could lead to a nationwide strike, according to NARD.
