Nurses, lab scientists idle as doctors strike continues in Abuja

Kubwa General Hospital, which used to serve patients from Deidei, Zuba and others from neighbouring Niger, was deserted when our reporter visited the facility Thursday.

Nurses, laboratory scientists and other staff that are not part of the doctor’s nationwide strike were, however, seen at their units but were idle.

The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Muideen Lasisi, said consultants were attending  to the patients under emergency.
