Striking Medical workers at the Delta
State Teaching Hospital, Oghara has resumed work following His Excellency
Senator (Dr). Ifeanyi Okowa’s personal intervention and the subsequent payment
of part of their allowances owed them.
The Delta State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nicholas Azinge stated this in his office during a meeting he held with the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN), Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara.
The Commissioner stated that dialogue is the best means of resolving industrial disputes and urged the Doctors to always avail themselves of the State government’s open door policy of resolving industrial disputes and to avoid strikes in future.
The Commissioner who described the Okowa Administration as labour friendly said the state government would not accept the situation where the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN), Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara chapter interferes with the State government’s decision as regards the appointment of the Chief Medical Director of the Institution saying it is the prerogative of the Governor to do so in consonance with the edit establishing the hospital.
He also used the medium to thank the Board Chairman, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Chris Oghenechowen and his members for their tireless efforts in bringing the strike action to an end.
Dr. Azinge used the opportunity to thank Governor, Sen. (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa for his efforts in providing the necessary support and logistics towards the containment of the Lassa fever disease in the State and said Delta State is Lassa disease free for now as all persons previously placed under surveillance came out cleared.
He advised all Deltans and residents to continue to observe all preventive measures against Lassa fever such as de-ratization and cleaning of their environment, hand washing and report any case of unresolved fever after treatment for malaria and typhoid fever and any bleeding from any of the body orifices.
