The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has expressed concern over significant manpower shortages at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State. NARD warned that the situation could have severe consequences for specialist training, healthcare delivery, and patient care.
The association called on the Oyo State Government to urgently address the manifold challenges confronting doctors at the hospital, including outstanding financial and welfare entitlements, inadequate working conditions, and the implementation of appropriate work-hour regulations. NARD expressed solidarity with the LAUTECH Association of Resident Doctors and emphasized that the doctors' continued patience should not be mistaken for acceptance of prolonged neglect.
The association set an ultimatum of August 28, 2026, for the Oyo State Government to resolve the issues or face further consequences for specialist training and healthcare delivery.
