The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos, has advocated upward review of budgetary allocation to the healthcare sector.
It also urged the Federal Government to compensate the families of its members who died as frontline health workers during the first, second and third waves of COVID-19 pandemic.
The resident doctors gave the charge yesterday during the yearly ordinary general meeting of the association held in the hospital premises.
President of the association, Dr. Okerinde Samuel, urged the government to look into the remuneration and welfare of health workers and provide adequate equipment and facilities.
