The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at the University of Ilorin
Teaching Hospital (UITH) has called off its two-week-old strike,
following an agreement between the union and the management of the
teaching hospital.
In a press statement made available to journalists in Ilorin on Saturday, the Head of the Public Relations Unit of the UITH, Mrs Olufunmilayo Omojasola, said that the doctors resolved to defend their ‘Hippocratic Oath’ by saving lives rather than shunning duties just as the management has decided to review some of the issues that prompted the strike.
The management team led by the Chief Medical Director of the UITH, Professor Abdulwaheed Olatinwo and the president of the local chapter of the ARD, Dr Adegboyega Faponle, reached an agreement which led to the calling off of the strike.
Omajasola further assured the general public of getting the best care possible at the UITH in line with international best practices at all times, adding that the hospital would continually contribute its quota in the areas of research, health care management and delivery.
Sunday Tribune gathered during a visit to the hospital yesterday that normal operations had resumed in all the units and departments, while all categories of doctors and health workers were seen at their duty posts.
