The Nigerian Medical Association has criticised the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, for saying developed nations like the United States and the United Kingdom don’t pay resident doctors.
Ngige, who is also a medical doctor, had berated NARD for embarking on a nationwide strike, claiming that developed countries don’t pay resident doctors.
He had also stated on Channels Television that resident doctors in foreign countries actually pay the hospitals where they work while in Nigeria the reverse is the case.
Reacting in a statement by its National President, Prof Innocent Ujah; and its Secretary General, Dr Phillips Ekpe, the NMA knocked Ngige for his approach towards the strike.
