Getting a residency training is essentially an act of God now because there are not enough training centers. When you get in you spend about six and half years specializing then to be thrown back into the labour market in search of a job as a consultant. Continue...
LUTH has now decided that even before completing the training, the new resident doctors would have to reapply for their jobs after scaling the first hurdle of the training. The association of resident doctors (ARD) are kicking against this clause as the management during their own training did not have to go through such stress.
The aim of the management is to weaken the ARD and victimize doctors by not reemploying any doctor that they consider troublesome.
The power situation in LUTH is so terrible that patients requiring emergency surgeries or investigations have to leave if they can afford private hospital or face the risk of dying. Also the prices of services in LUTH is the highest amongst all teaching hospitals in Nigeria, this deters patients from coming to LUTH and adversely affecting the training. of resident doctors especially the surgical residents who have to literally fight each other for surgical cases.
These and more has prompted the current strike.

Naijaaaaaaa!when u go beta?
Residency training has become such an unbearable experience for us undergoing this training. You are called a resident doctor but have no accomodation within the premises to do your job, instead consultants who have finished their training and were given opportunities to leave in the premises during their own training have refused to vacate the accomodation for the newer doctors. The training itself is done in such harsh and unfriendly environment that you actually begin to wander what is happening. There is never funds from management to send residents for their necessary courses and seminars. You then as the resident training doctor now use your money to train yourself in a programme that is supposed to be a training programme for you by your management unit and government.
Resident doctors are subjected to write an exam several times because of the lack of objectiveness of the exams, and even when you dont pass these exams after several attemps noone bothers to tell you were you went wrong and then you get frustrated out of the harsh and unpleasant system without anything. For those who manage to finish the training, you become jobless and start looking for jobs all over the whole nation again, another frustration.
I most say that we doctors are actually the ones killing ourselves. The older ones who had it easier and stayed in the residency training for years on end without been chucked out are the ones making it even difficult for younger ones to stay for their given stipulated period by coming up with one unnecessary rule or the other. Let me stop here and Well like we all in Nigeria say, God will help us.
There's nothing wrong with those clauses in the employment contract of resident doctors. Those who know what happens in the system should understand the reasons behind those clauses which have been included in contracts even in smaller private or religious institutions running post grad training programmes. There are a high number of people abusing the residency system by overstaying their welcome and clogging up the system. They either pass part 1 exam and don't work on their part 2 thereby remaining senior registrars for longer than the system allows and producing no dissertation. Others fail to pass part 1 over and over again and treat the job like civil service. There are limited spaces in residency programs. Some level of discipline is required to avoid abuse.
With regards to the working conditions, that requires an indefinite strike not a warning strike.
Yes o, this is fight to finish o. It's frustratingly annoying wat Luth is trying to introduce to the system. The funny thing is once it has been approved every other institution would follow suite, and this is all @ the expense of poor patients and even the residents in training. Staggered training for God's sake can never make a consultant. May God intervene in the management of this country o. O su mi
U see d reason why I no wan do ds foolish residency? After spending 6yrs in school studying, under harsh conditions, am not sure I can go thru ds! Dr SID na dentist like me, abeg on to better tinz o jare! I see u all @ d top, if u can meet me there!
Firstly u modafuckers are just annoying me...u knw wht medlab scientists,pharms and physios go thru?...they dnt have jobs even after years of graduating, they are underpaid and u idiots oppress them when they fight for wht is right. what reason do u have?...now u would knw how it feels to be oppressed..u guys are interns but this time, senior interns..u don't get automatic employment after internship, u pray and hope for it. so stop crying....other folks have it more difficult than u do..at least u get paid during the 6 yrs.The annoying part is, if u feel u are underpaid...leave and go somewhere else..go abroad...folks are doing it. i blame our leaders for this rot in our health sector, an incompetent leader as minister that loves to divide a house and still wants to rule it.I still believe in Nigeria, its the only country i got. do u realize how ur strikes affects patients and the scores that are dead cos of your selfish money grabbing thirst?..oh...i know..u got private clinics were u refer them to. Listen...not every doctor must ride a jeep or what ever u guys fancy,,, focus on the oath u took and stop crying that you are feeling are unjustly dealt with,.If you want to be super rich...go into business, you do not expect to live a champagne life as a medical doctor..ur calling is to serve.
NB. pardon my writing structure if any.. Le Hime...
I was just discharged from there last 3 weeks, stayed for only 3 days, I paid for the drugs at the pharmacy, ♌☺ drip was given. But can't believe what I paid when I was discharged, that was when I knew that LUTH is actually more exorbitant than some private hospitals.
I so support this strike. I was at Luth last week and all through the period the had power issues! How can a teaching hospital be using charger lamps? Am all for this strike Biko
each tym I hear doctors and strike I remember an anty dat died of cancer during d 2013 strike, I wish dey can attend to sum pple during dis movement
To me that that is nonsense tell those that don't know abt the residence training where management trained u to become consultant with tax payer money while none medical professional enjoyed same that high level of impunity we are talking abt in the health sectors where doctors cares only abt their self and wil used patients to justified their self-centered reason.
Again! Well I think docs shld be taken more seriously
Soon...

Lmao @ dami ...true talk jare. Can't just wait to sign out of dis useless system, so discouraging.
These foolish set of unprofessionals calling demselves doctors, experimenting with human lives yet strike so hard like a thunder bolt!!! Little wonder mortality rate is high in Nigeria, with the life expectancy rate so low!!! Doctors in 9ja are faulty experiments wanna leave a celebrity life as a supposed professional wich is unethical
Everyone blaming d resident doctors don't jus knw what's goin on dats y. Its only those in d medical field dat wud understand whatsup. D govt really nids to do somthn abt this. Ts jus nuh fair. I think the strike is worth it,doctors aint slaves, n we also have rights like every other. U don't expect us to keep quiet wen things aint goin d ryt way. Somethn nids to b done, esp in LUTH. Y'all dat r blamin it on d doctors, May God not judge u all according to ur sins,amen. I hope n pray d govt look into dis.
Someone needs to call the CMD of LUTH to order, he has totally ruined the hospital, this is not a case of hatred or witch hunt or b"bad belle" as issues in Nigeria are always seen. At least a lot of patients can testify to this.
I believe one should have a special interest of development in one's Alma Mater or do you need Prof. Abiodun Ilesanmi to rehabilitate it for you? You are embezzling money and nobody shows interest in asking you but pls whatever the government has provided for masses that need to attend LUTH, pls make it enjoyable.
How can LUTH owe NEPA and say they want to run the hospital on generator and they will buy diesel and negotiate with theater that will only give them power for 3hrs for whatever surgery they need to do? The question is.... If the surgery does not end in 3hrs, what happens? I'm sure your answer will be that... Power will be left till the end of the surgery, it was just a threat, ... For where? In LUTH, 3hrs is 3hrs.... It is that bad, so the surgeon will have to choose from the cases, which one may last for less or not, IMAGINE!
Something urgent needs to be done before this CMD kill himself bcos, he may end up as a patient in LUTH one day.
The Laboratories are deliberately killed to support his share from PathCare all in the name of sabotage, yet no scape goat to punish for sabotaging anything. I know he still enjoys the Minister for Health now but nobody will be there to help them then.....
The kitchen where food for patients are prepared is worse.... CHANNELS TV WHERE ARE U? Maybe the CMD has bought his way there too. The issues are too numerous... We don't even need to go into staff welfare and what he was doing to salaries before IPPIS came, we hope that programme will be better.
I beg the CMD, to pls save this shame before he leaves in August,2014 cos people are really praying for him to go, though, his CMAC(second in command) is worse. Why do we lack leaders in Nigeria? These are people that will want to run for political posts in future. Hmmmmm!!!
What goes round, will surely come around; about 2 months ago, these same set of doctors were supporting the CMD for maltreating the other members of staff. They said all sorts of things like the other professionals are mere support staff and the hospital is running smoothly even without them and that their strike is baseless even when it actually had to do with letters of promotion, welfare and co. It is not compulsory to do residency in LUTH, if it says this is how it wants it's own residency programme to be, go to another hospital. Moreso, these doctors on strike are not the newly employed, so what is ya own? You spent most of your time in private practice in detriment of the progress of the hospital, thank God the CMD is a doctor too, so this is the product of the so called Residency programme, what makes you think you will be better than him when you get there? It is time to taste frustration and harsh treatment too. Enjoy it!
U r a fool!
Definitely not in your Jupiter at least!
It happens in every profession,the older ones are making things difficult for new ones,
