This infographic highlights the ongoing strike by over 11,000 doctors in over 90 teaching hospitals across Nigeria, which has been in effect since November 1st. The key issues include broken promises, where concerns raised by healthcare professionals over the years remain unaddressed; system neglect, including delays, underpayment, and burnout; and the impact on patients, such as increased fatigue, medical errors, and under-staffed hospitals, which ultimately lead to a decline in patient care quality.
This graphic underscores the urgent need for meaningful reforms in the healthcare sector to address these critical issues and restore the functioning of hospitals for the benefit of patients and healthcare workers alike.
