The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has said that the Chief Medical Director or Medical Director of any hospital in the country where a doctor or health worker is attacked by patients' relatives during the line of duty should be queried.

Kindly share this story:

The National President of NARD, Dr. Emeka Orji, stated this while speaking in an exclusive interview with PUNCH HealthWise. According to him, security should not be compromised in hotspots in the hospital, particularly in the emergency department and general outpatient department where most of the attacks take place.

“There should be a policy that in any hospital where a doctor or any health worker is attacked, the chief medical director or medical director of the hospital should be queried because it is your responsibility to protect your staff. The NARD president stressed that the CMDs and medical directors have a responsibility to provide a visible security presence in the hospitals.
