UBTH mitigate effects of doctors strike on patients  

University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) says it offers skeletal services to patients despite the indefinite strike embarked upon by National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), nationwide.

Mr Joshua Uwaila, The Public Relations Officer of the hospital, said this in a statement in Benin on Monday that the hospital had been carrying out skeletal services, within the depleted human resources available to reduce the impacts of the strike on patients.

“In the meantime, several patients have had to seek medical care in other hospitals which are not affected by the strike.

“We are hopeful that the ongoing dialogue between the resident doctors and the Federal Government will be fruitful.

“We also count on the understanding of Nigerians, as we pray for speedy resolution of the industrial dispute,” he said.
