In a statement released following a meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives in the state capital of Ibadan, Akin Fagbemi, the chairman of the Hospitals Management Board, stated that the action was taken to address the urgent concerns brought forth by the healthcare professionals.
Fagbemi said, “The governor has approved the immediate recruitment of consultants, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
“The significance of the governor’s decision to recruit additional healthcare professionals as it directly addresses the shortage of staff in hospitals and healthcare centres across the state.
“We praise him for promoting transparency and accountability within the health sector, which aligns with the core values essential for providing quality healthcare services.”
On Tuesday, May 21, 2024, the state branch of the NANNM issued an order to its members to go on an indefinite strike since the State Government had not responded to their eight-point proposal.
Fagbemi said that the governor’s choice had received praise from a number of parties, demonstrating their appreciation for his dedication to giving the health sector first priority and offering the people of the state high-quality healthcare services.
He conveyed his appreciation for the governor’s initiative in responding to the worries of medical professionals, stressing that this kind of action shows a sincere commitment to enhancing the quality of healthcare in the state.
Thus, Fagbemi promised to work with the Ministry of Health to undertake the ideas and reforms that are required in order to benefit the state’s citizens in the long run.
The board chairman assured the union leaders that in addition to the hazard allowance that has been approved and already being paid, and the recruitment exercise which is going to start immediately, other issues raised are frontally being addressed as evidenced by revelations at the meeting
