Hehehe...FOR an alleged refusal by the Delta
State Government to “implement senior registrars one salary and arrears” for
resident doctors at the state-owned University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH),
institution’s Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has begun an indefinite
strike at Oghara.
Its President, Dr. Innocent Okocha,
told The Guardian yesterday that his members were miffed by government’s stance,
adding that efforts to resolve the crisis through dialogue since last year had
not yielded desired outcome.
Senior registrars are resident
doctors who passed their part one examinations in either the West African
College of Physicians/Surgeons or the National Postgraduate Medical College as
part of their residency training.
Okocha said the state government had
declined to appropriately remunerate them after successful completion of their
programme.
