The Medical doctors under the auspices of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP), in Ondo State on Monday suspended it one-month-old strike. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that doctors, who are employed by the state government, withdrawn their services on June 24, over unpaid allowances. The doctors, however, implored the state government to address their other demands, which include: immediate domestication of the Special COVID-19 Hazard and Risk (Life) Insurance for all doctors, who were part of the frontline health care providers in the state. The doctors also demand immediate circulation and institutionalisation of the modalities of the already begun deductions of doctors salaries into the National Housing Fund Contributions by workers in the State’s public service. Aina assured the state government that members of the association will continue to discharge their duties with passion.
