Represented by the chairman of the FCT chapter of the association, Enema Amodu, he said the association condemned the current killings of doctors in Anambra State.
He urged all state governments owing doctors salaries and allowances to prevent frustration among the workforce.
“The issue of brain drain among medical doctors must be urgently addressed by governments, otherwise the consequences of turning a blind eye to this will be ominous,” he added.
