Alikor also expressed appreciation to the Commissioner for Health, Dr Adaeze Chidinma Oreh, for her tireless dedication to the welfare needs of healthcare workers in the State.

“This successful implementation of CONMESS and the provision of allowances for Honorary Senior Registrars and Honorary Consultants is an indication that our governor prioritizes the health and well-being of Rivers people,” Alikor said.

He said that the governor implemented CONMESS for the doctors to improve healthcare infrastructure and ensure a conducive working environment for medical practitioners in the State.

“Healthcare workers play a pivotal role in the well-being of society, and the acknowledgement and implementation of CONMESS demonstrate the government is an acknowledgement of their efforts.

“This move is expected to boost morale among medical professionals, ultimately translating into improved healthcare delivery for the residents of Rivers State,” he added.

According to him, the implementation of the healthcare policies underscores the government’s commitment to the welfare of medical doctors.

“The 2023 CONMESS ensures that doctors at RSUTH receive competitive and standardized salaries, fostering a conducive environment for medical practitioners to deliver optimal healthcare services to the people of Rivers State,” he noted.

“The government has taken a laudable step by addressing the allowances of Honorary Senior Registrars and Honorary Consultants at RSUTH.
