According to a statement made available to Sunday Tribune by Professor Chukwu, the strike action is expected to be called off tomorrow after the association must have held its emergency delegates meeting.
The minister said that almost all the issues raised in the doctors’ demands had been addressed, adding that government was not unaware of the hardship that the strike action had imposed on Nigerians.
“The government has met its own side of the MoU and it is expected that the members of the NMA would from today begin to respond and attend to all emergency cases in public hospitals in the spirit of this understanding.
“It is also expected that the NMA will call off the strike after its emergency delegates meeting scheduled for next Monday, 7th July, 2014.
“The Federal Government is not unaware of the suffering and hardship that the strike action has imposed on the generality of Nigerians,” the statement read.
