RESIDENT DOCTORS SUSPEND STRIKE IN KADUNA.

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in Kaduna has suspended its six-day warning strike. 

The President of the chapter, Dr. Josiah Yakubu, disclosed on Monday in Kaduna, that the suspension follows an emergency congress and interventions by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) leadership.

Yakubu explained that the strike was called off after the Kaduna State Government agreed to address the doctors' concerns, including manpower and remuneration issues, adding that a Memorandum of Understanding was drafted and signed by both parties, with the state government committing to implement the CONMESS 2024 salary structure.

He revealed that work is set to resume at the hospital on Tuesday, with resident doctors expected to return to their duties, as the NMA and NARD leadership have pledged to closely monitor the implementation of the agreement to ensure the doctors' demands are met.
