It’s
been reported that the Bornu State Chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association
(NMA) has ignored the ongoing nationwide strike embarked upon by the national
body of the association.
According
to the local NMA chapter this move is to allow medical doctors in the state to
attend to victims of the five-year-old Boko Haram insurgency in the state.
According
to THEWILL it was disclosed to them that
medical doctors in neighbouring Adamawa and Yobe States are also shunning the
general strike to enable them attend to victims of Boko Haram insurgency.
The
source however said that though the doctors did not join their colleagues in
the strike, they align with the demands of their other colleagues, maintaining
that the decision was made in line with the ethics of the profession which
demands a sacrifice for the life of patients.
Is this a good move?
I think it is!!!
