National President, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday said doctors in public hospitals would end their five-day warning strike and resume duty on Monday.
The NMA had on Dec.15 directed its members to embark on the nationwide strike to protest against the doctors’ poor working conditions, inadequate funding, and poor infrastructure in the nation’s health sector.
“NMA wishes to inform the general public that doctors in the public health sector will resume services from Dec. 23.
“This is in line with our earlier promise to give prime consideration to the Yuletide season in the prosecution of our warning strike.
“Also, to give another opportunity for the Federal Government to concretely resolve all the demands of NMA for which it first issued a 21-day ultimatum on Sept. 2,” he said.
Enabulele also called on the Federal Government to ensure that the demands of doctors were met.
"Nigerian doctors shall not hesitate to commence a full blown strike from 8.00 a.m. on Jan. 6, 2014, if government does not satisfactorily resolve the demands of doctors.
"We fervently call on all well-meaning Nigerians to assist in the resolution of the demands of the NMA.
