The Nigerian Medical Association has asked striking doctors to
immediately return to work and help to contain the spread of Coronavirus
in the country.

President of the association, Dr Francis Adedayo Faduyile, made the call at a press briefing in Abuja.

”We direct all medical associations that have declared industrial
actions against their management to suspend all actions as the National
NMA shall take over the dispute and interact with the different organs
and agencies of the government. In this regard, the Association of
Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna and also in
Gombe state as well as NMA in Cross Rivers state are to report back to
work and treat Nigerians” he said

The Association of Resident Doctors in Abuja, Gombe and Kaduna
states, embarked on the strike action this month over unpaid
allowances and salaries.  Members of the NMA in Cross Rivers state also
went on strike in March over the level of insecurity in the state.
