The Nigerian Medical Association [NMA] has suspended its 65- day  old strike action.

The body’s President,  Kayode Obembe,  told CEOAFRICA that  the association’s delegates resolved to suspend the industrial action in the interest of the ongoing public health issues in the country (Ebola outbreak).

He said all Nigerian doctors are expected to report to work on Monday. Mr. Obembe said the delegates also resolved among others that the Federal Government recall all suspended resident doctors without punitive measures.

Over 16, 000 resident doctors where suspended by the Federal Ministry of Health following a presidential directive.
