The Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, Prof Jesse Otegbayo, has said the hospital was waiting for the Federal Government to revoke its sack letter to the Association of Resident Doctors (ARDs).
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) on Sunday night announced the end of its national strike, after 55 days, with a directive to the doctors to resume work yesterday.
But Otegbayo said without the withdrawal of the circular suspending the doctors, they might not fully resume work.
He explained that in line with the agreement the NMA had with the Federal Ministry of Health before the strike was suspended, there should be a withdrawal of the circular that suspended residency training programme.
Otegbayo, who also doubles as the hospital’s Director of Medical Training and Research, said he was awaiting the withdrawal of the circular on the suspension of ARDs from the Federal Government.
He said: “The consultants and medical officers have resumed. The ARDs are also on ground. But the Federal Government still has some issues to settle with them in terms of restructuring the residency training. We are waiting for the next directive from our principal in Abuja?”
