The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has commenced a seven-day warning strike.
The association announced the action on Monday in a communiqué signed by the association’s President, George Ebong, alongside other members of the executive.
It said cited systemic failures, long-standing structural deficiencies in the FCT health sector as the reason why it has embarked on the warning strike.
The association stressed the need for urgent and comprehensive reforms.
Ebong said that resident doctors in the FCT are under immense strain, often forced to handle multiple departments at once.
He urged the federal government to urgently address the worsening challenges in the health sector.
