Institute evolves ways to avert strike in health services

Measures to avert strikes in hospitals and other health centres have been muted, as the Institute of Health Service Administrators of Nigeria (IHSAN) organised the 2nd Run Professional Development Workshop, where experts from different specialities in the health sector converged to proffer solutions to such problems.

The National President of the Institute, Aminu Bello Sokoto, at the Workshop, which held at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), said that experts found it necessary to look for ways to put a stop to industrial actions facing health facilities in the country.

“Our effort is geared towards resolving perennial issues of strike actions being faced by our hospitals, medical centres and all other health facilities across the country,” he said.

He added that, “We have different professionals in the hospitals, who sometimes are being faced with unnecessary rivalry among them. This workshop will also serve as a platform to finding lasting solution to such rivalry among our professionals.”
