Patients seeking medical services at University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, have expressed frustration over the indefinite strike currently being embarked upon by Association of Resident Doctors (ARD).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the strike entered 19th day on Wednesday.
A NAN correspondent, who visited the tertiary hospital on Wednesday, saw the frustration visibly written on the faces of patients seeking medical care at the facility.
NAN also reports that the industrial action has affected activities in key sections, such as the ever-busy Accident and Emergency and Out-Patient Department, both of which were unusually quiet.
Consultants, nurses and other allied health workers were, however, seen offering services, even as patients experienced unusual delay due to the limited number of doctors on duty.
