Patients seeking medical services at University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, have expressed frustration over the indefinite strike currently being embarked upon by Association of Resident Doctors (ARD).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the strike entered 19th day on Wednesday.
A NAN correspondent, who visited the tertiary hospital on Wednesday, saw the frustration visibly written on the faces of patients seeking medical care at the facility.
NAN also reports that the industrial action has affected activities in key sections, such as the ever-busy Accident and Emergency and Out-Patient Department, both of which were unusually quiet.

Resident doctors, organized labour strike hampers COVID-19 vaccination in Taraba
Published
The recent strike embarked by the Taraba State chapter of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) and subsequently by the entire public servants in the State has no doubt prevented the state government from meeting its target of vaccinating 50,000 persons against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though suspended, the strike which did not only paralyze both public and private activities, made it impossible for some of the health workers to carry out the vaccination activities in some councils.
Admitting that the strike impeded the exercise, the deputy governor, Engineer Haruna Manu had warned striking workers who were then going about disrupting the exercise, to cease or be compelled to face the wrath of the law.
