Patients Stranded As Nurses, Midwives’ Strike Hits Hospitals Nationwide

The strike by nurses and midwives has paralysed medical activities in most hospitals in the country, leaving patients stranded.

Even though the nurses and the midwives in some states did not join the strike, our correspondents gathered that some medical and nursing students are filling the gaps in some hospitals, but the efforts are not enough.

The patients have called on the federal government to intervene and meet the demands of the nurses and the midwives so that they can return to work, as their lives are at risk.
