Incessant doctors’ strikes expose Makinde’s failure in health sector — APC guber candidate

Sen. Sharafadeen Alli, the APC candidate for Oyo State gubernatorial elections, has criticized Governor Seyi Makinde's administration for its failure in the health sector. Alli, representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has expressed concern over the ongoing strike by medical professionals. The resident doctors at Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, have been on strike for over 30 days, demanding better welfare conditions.

In the statement by Alli's spokesman, Bisi Oladele, the prolonged strike was deemed unacceptable and exposed the inadequacies of the current administration. Furthermore, the Association of Medical and Dental Officers of Oyo State (AMDO) has also called for a 21-day warning strike, adding to the woes of patients in hospitals across the state.

Alli emphasized that healthcare delivery should be a priority for administrations and that the continued strikes reflect government failure in the sector.
