The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso Chapter, has appealed to Oyo and Osun state governments, owners of the institution to pay the salaries of its members.
The association made the plea today in a statement issued in Ogbomoso by its president, Dr Taofeek Oloyede.
The union expressed dismay that its members were last paid in December 2013.
“Resident doctors in this hospital have worked against all odds to ensure the good people of Ogbomoso and its environs get the best of care which has been enjoyed since inception.”
The association, said its members had commenced an indefinite strike since 7 April. The association also noted that the action of Oyo and Osun governments had wrought grave consequences on the hospital.
The union said its members would no longer continue to bear the brunt of the neglect and called for the intervention of all stakeholders.
