Resident doctors issue final deadline, threaten nationwide strike from Aug 10

NARD says it will commence a total and comprehensive industrial strike at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, August 10, if outstanding demands on salaries, allowances and working conditions are not met. The decision was contained in a communique issued at the end of the association’s July National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Gombe, signed by the NARD President, Dr Mohammad Suleiman, Secretary-General Dr Shuaibu Ibrahim and Publicity Secretary Dr Abdulmajid Ibrahim.

The association also called for urgent resolution of house officers’ welfare challenges, including […]

Nigeria at High Risk of Ebola Virus Importation – NCDC

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has declared Nigeria at "high risk" of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) being imported into the country. The NCDC activated emergency response teams following the alert. The agency classified the risk as high due to ongoing Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and a recently reported imported case in Uganda. NCDC Director-General stated that the agency is closely monitoring developments across the region and working with relevant stakeholders, including the Port Health Service of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, to strengthen vigilance and preparedness within Nigeria's public health system. The likelihood of importation to Nigeria is high due to increased air travel between Nigeria and Uganda, especially through Kenya's Nairobi Airport, which serves as a major transit hub connecting the countries. The NCDC confirmed that […]

WHO warns of rising attacks on health facilities in Iran

The World Health Organization has raised fresh alarm over multiple attacks on health facilities and workers in Iran since the escalation of the US and Israeli military campaign against the country. The agency says the pattern of strikes is severely undermining access to life saving care and threatening the wider health system. WHO Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus said the organisation has verified more than 20 attacks on health care in Iran since 1 March alone. These incidents have resulted in at least nine deaths, including an infectious diseases specialist and a member of the Iranian Red Crescent, and several injuries among health workers and patients. The attacks have hit hospitals, research institutes and pharmaceutical facilities in different parts of the country. Recent strikes reported by WHO include incidents affecting the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital and the […]

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. The report highlighted that nurses and female doctors are more likely to experience depression, while male doctors show a higher tendency toward alcohol addiction. 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 […]

Ghana Nurses Midwives Protest Over 8-Month Unpaid Salaries

A coalition of more than 7,000 nurses and midwives working in public health facilities across Ghana has staged a protest to demand the immediate release of eight months’ worth of unpaid salaries. The group, known as the Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives, says they have not received any pay since January 2025, leaving many in severe financial distress. Despite being granted financial clearance by government—a process meant to authorize their salaries—no payments have been made to date. During the protest, the convener of the coalition, Stephen Kwadwo Takyiah, expressed the deep frustration and emotional toll the situation has caused. “We are emotionally drained from working with no assurances of payment anytime soon,” he lamented, describing the toll on both morale and daily survival. The health professionals argue that the salary delays have forced them into what they call an […]
