The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (ARD-FCT) yesterday began a seven-day warning strike to press home their demands for urgent reforms in the health sector.
The action was contained in a communiqué signed by the association’s President, Dr. George Ebong, and other executive members.
According to the doctors, the FCT health system is plagued by long-standing systemic failures that require urgent and comprehensive reforms.
Dr. Ebong noted that resident doctors in the territory are working under intense pressure, often forced to cover multiple departments due to manpower shortages.
