Posted on: Mon 11-05-2015

The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) has appealed to striking doctors in the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, to end their 10-day strike.
 
A rising from an emergency congress, the consultants urged the striking doctors and the hospital management to sheathe their swords for the sake of the patients.
 
A statement by MDCAN General Secretary, Dr Victor Makanjuola, said all the issues being raised by the doctors are legitimate. He urged the management to address them.
 
 
 The statement reads: "MDCAN UCH Branch held an emergency congress to consider all the issues leading to the strike.
 
 "The MDCAN has set machinery in motion to address the contentious issues in collaboration with resident doctors and UCH Management.
 
"We seek the kind of understanding of the public, as the matter is expeditiously resolved."
