Resident doctors at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, staged a protest on Wednesday over subpar working conditions, understaffing, and unpaid wage arrears. They demanded immediate action from the Oyo State Government and hospital management. The Association of Resident Doctors, LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, issued a statement expressing the doctors' plight.
They highlighted severe understaffing, unpaid minimum wage arrears, unmet allowance promises, and deteriorating call room conditions. The doctors emphasized that they were not seeking luxury but basic human dignity, fair compensation, and adequate funding for medical residency training. They appealed to the Oyo State Governor, the state government, hospital administration, and other stakeholders to address their grievances.
The protest followed earlier concerns raised by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors about the shortage of resident doctors and the lack of replacements for trained doctors in specialties like Anaesthesia, Chemical Pathology, and Haematology.
