Nigeria’s Health System Under Strain as Resident Doctors Weigh Strike Action.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) will today hold its National Executive Council meeting to determine its next line of action on a pending ultimatum to the Federal Government.

The association had earlier issued a ten-day ultimatum to relevant government agencies, warning that members would embark on a nationwide strike if their demands were not met.

The threat arises amid mounting pressure on Nigeria’s fragile public health system, which is already struggling with a shortage of doctors, inadequate infrastructure, and overcrowded hospitals.
