Corps members replace striking doctors in FMC Yola

Corps members have replaced the striking doctors in the Federal Medical Centre, Yola.

This comes after the national association of resident doctors directed its members across the country to embark on a total strike from Aug. 2.

According to reports, the corps members could be seen offering skeletal services to some patients with emergencies.

The NYSC doctors and other senior medical officers also attended to patients with emergency cases.

Reacting, Mr Adamu Dodo, head of information and media relations, FMC, Yola, said that the hospital was not completely shut down due to the strike.

He noted that nard was only one category of medical doctors.

Dodo confirmed that the only unusual circumstances being experienced were the workload shouldered by the dedicated NYSC doctors.
