MDCAN Wants Johesu To Accept Yayale Committee Report

The leadership of the
Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) across the country has been urged to accept the recommendations of the  Alhaji Yayale Ahmed’s committee report on the public health sector.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos last Wednesday, the National President, Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN), Dr Steven Oluwole, said the Yayale committee was set up to identify the causes of the acrimony among public health sector workers and recommend appropriate measures that will assist the government in ensuring harmonious work relationship in the nation’s public health sector.
Oluwole said members of JOHESU should accept their defined roles in the hospitals as practiced in health institutions and encourage their members in the Laboratory services to work under the leadership of  medical doctors as recommended by the committee.
He advised the union members not to engage in any act that would further cause unhealthy rivalry in the health sector.
The medical practitioner said members and leadership of JOHESU should not play the victim strategy with the view of disparaging the committee report in order to cast doubt on the committee members’ impartiality.
He said members of the union endorsed the composition of the committee, stressing that members of MDCAN find it inexplicable the JOHESU conspiratorial theories of the bases for the recommendations of the committee.
He called upon JOHESU to rather seek enhancement of the remuneration for its members and ensure peaceful and healthy professional co-existence in the nation’s health sector.
