Doctors’ strike: 6 patients die in Port Harcourt

hospital
At least six patients have reportedly died at the Rivers State-owned Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital (BMH), Port Harcourt, due to the ongoing nationwide warning strike by  medical doctors.

Doctors under the aegis of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) commenced a five-day nationwide warning strike yesterday, over the Federal Government’s failure to address the association’s demands.

Some patients had appealed to the  government to look into the demands of the doctors to forestall more casualties.

They expressed worry over incessant industrial actions by workers, which had not brought development to the country.

However,  Governor Chibuike  Amaechi, had called on medical doctors in the state to suspend the nationwide warning strike for the interest  of members of the public.
