Oyo State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) on Tuesday declared a three-day warning strike in both public and private hospitals in the state over sack of 256 doctors and deployment of about 300 staff of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching hospital to the state civil service.
The three-day warning strike will commence tomorrow (Wednesday) 10th January 2017.
Recall that no fewer than 256 staff of the teaching hospital have been disengaged while 300 others have been asked to be deployed to the state civil service.
The state NMA Chairman, Dr. Mojisola Atalabi, while speaking at a press conference in Ibadan on Tuesday noted that the warning strike became necessary in order to protest the alleged unfair treatment of doctors at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso.
Atalabi said that only emergency cases would be attended to to during the strike.
She added that the South West zonal executive of NMA would also hold a crucial meeting on the issue.
