The Medical Guild has appealed to the Lagos State Government to prioritise the health and lives of healthcare workers, saying 15 doctors died within six months in the state.
He said the paper drew the attention of the state government to urgently take action to salvage the spiraling health of the health workers.
The Chairman of Guild, Dr. Sa’eid Ahmad, made the disclosure during a news conference in Lagos on Sunday.
The Medical Guild in Lagos State noted that the past years things have been particularly challenging for the guild due to ongoing co-morbidities exacerbated by manpower bleed and the attendant severe overwork among members at service points and some members’ deaths.
The doctors’ association said the devastating phenomenon of brain drain, and its attendant work overload for the doctors remaining onshore have been repeatedly emphasised.
