Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, Resident Doctors To Meet Over Strike 

The President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, Dr Emeka Orji, says the National Assembly has invited the association for a meeting on Friday. <br />Resident doctors across 79 tertiary health facilities commenced a five-day warning strike on Wednesday to press home their demands. <br />The doctors are demanding an immediate increment in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure to the tune of 200 per cent of the current gross salaries of doctors. <br />The doctors also want immediate massive recruitment of clinical staff in the hospitals, and immediate withdrawal of the bill seeking to compel medical and dental graduates to render five-year compulsory services in Nigeria before being granted full licences to practise.
