The Chief Medical Director, Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, Dr. Majekodunmi Ayodele, has send the ingenuity of the management helped duringthe ongoing doctors’ strike without any casualty.
He,  called on the National Assembly to strengthen the existing labour laws in the country to checkmate incessant strike in the nation’s health sector.

Ayodele, who blamed the preponderance of inter-professional ego among the medical unions, urged the National Assembly to rework the law to put a stop to the abuse of rights and privileges of medical employees.
Particularly making reference to the three months old strike embarked on by members of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU), Ayodele appealed to the striking workers to suspend their strike to save the sector from total collapse and further decay.
At a press conference in Ido Ekiti on Monday, the CMD said JOHESU members, comprising pharmacists, nurses and medical laboratory technologists, have been having consistent strained relationship with doctors, saying this protracted egoistic posture is killing the system.
He said to accede to JOHESU’s demands, President Goodluck Jonathan has set up a committee of experts on inter-professional relations, led by the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ahmed Yayali, to look into the issues causing acrimony in the health sector and proffer lasting solutions.
