The doctors under the auspices of National Association of Government General and Medical Dental Practitioners who have been on strike for the past three weeks in the State, said government must wake up from its slumber and ensure people at the grassroots have access to quality health care delivery.
Adeniyi explained that all efforts by the striking doctors to get the attention of government to their plight on the need for government to improve the welfare of doctors and working environment have not yielded the desired results in the last ten years. According to him, “Ekiti State Government remains unperturbed about the germane and critical issues being raised. Ekiti State has refused to commit itself to the protection of health care professionals, at a time when nations and civilisations are offering every support for this cadre of workers, more importantly in the face of the present COVID-19 pandemic.
“Five of the General hospitals in the State have only one doctor each while the 3 State Specialist hospitals have a total of 6 and 7 medical doctors respectively.
