This appeal was made on Thursday by the Speaker of the House, Bamidele Oleyelogun, noting that the industrial dispute had lasted for so long and there was a need to put an end to it.
He called for a tripartite meeting that would involve medical personnel, the executive, and the legislative arms with a view to fashion out an amicable solution to the lingering crisis.
Oleyelogun said that the strike had triggered mortality among patients who patronised quack doctors because they lacked the wherewithal to attend standard hospitals in view of the high charges.
The speaker appealed to relevant authorities to find an amicable solution to the industrial crisis which had triggered brain drain amongst medical personnel in the state.
