Amidst COVID-19, Ogun doctors commence warning strike

Despite the ravaging global pandemic, COVID-19, resident doctors of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospi­tal (OOUTH), Sagamu, Ogun State, commence a three-day warning strike today.

It would be recalled that the hospital houses one of the isolation centres desig­nated by the government for the management and treat­ment of the coronavirus, and the centre at present houses about 18 patients.

The doctors, under the ae­gis of Association of Resident Doctors of OOUTH, said the decision followed the failure of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration to address is­sues relating to the welfare of the doctors.

The doctors have, however, resolved to exclude members working at the isolation cen­tre from joining the strike action.
