FCT Doctors Threaten Strike Over Colleague’s Kidnapping

Members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to shut down all medical services and stage a protest if their colleague, Dr. Chinonye Nwachukwu, is not released from kidnappers’ custody. Dr. Nwachukwu, who recently returned from studying in Ukraine to work at Garki Hospital in Abuja, has been held by kidnappers for 16 days. Despite reporting the abduction to agencies like the Department of State Security and the FCT Police, the doctors say no effective action has been taken to secure her release.

According to NARD, the union has 19 outstanding demands repeatedly presented to the Federal Government. It described […]

One-Third of Europe’s Doctors, Nurses Have Depression – WHO

A new World Health Organization (WHO) report reveals a mental health crisis among healthcare workers in Europe, with one in three doctors and nurses suffering from depression or anxiety. This rate is five times higher than in the general population. The study also found that more than one in ten health workers have had suicidal thoughts. Key factors driving this crisis include workplace violence, consistently long hours, and night shifts.

Countries like Latvia and Poland reported the highest depression levels, while Denmark and Iceland had the lowest. The WHO is calling for urgent measures, including zero tolerance for violence and reduced working hours, to address the crisis and prevent a looming shortage of nearly one million […]
