The Chairman of the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) in Ekiti state Dr. Kunle Ajayi, has told the state government that medical doctors are avoiding working in the state due to poor working conditions, unpaid salaries and poor funding of the state University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).
Speaking at the inauguration of the union’s secretariat/office complex, MDCAN House, located within EKSUTH premises, Ajayi regretted that many good brains left juicy appointments elsewhere and came to EKSUTH shortly after it was upgraded from state specialist hospital in 2008 only for the health institution to be neglected.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olurotimi Ojo, who commissioned the building on behalf of Governor Ayodele Fayose, appealed to the doctors to bear with the government as it was not unconcerned.
“I will speak with the governor on your behalf. The governor feels for you but he has been incapacitated by financial limitations. I don’t want you (doctors) to be militant, let us show our strength during this period. All institutions on subvention in the state are going through this situation.”
