Our Hospitals, Our Health Workers, and Us
['Abdulkadir Salaudeen']
The News Chronicle
Doctors, nurses, and other health workers work under pressure as they struggle to provide healthcare to patients.
There are other health workers like pharmacists, medical laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, radiographers, dietitians, health information managers, engineers, administrative staff, and other support staff.
These health workers, who make up about 85% of the workforce, have been on strike since November 14, 2025.
Our health workers are not intrinsically poor in service delivery (they are really doing great), but our hospitals are bad places to visit.
He is not alone; may the Almighty have mercy on all Nigerians who died in our hospitals due to government negligence of the health sector.
