Doctors working for the Lagos State government have suspended the industrial action which paralyzed public health care in the State for seven straight weeks.
The doctors, during a press briefing after an emergency congress in Lagos on Saturday, said they have reached an agreement with the State government and will be back to work on Monday.
Executives of the State medical guild also announced that the sacked former chairman of the guild, Ibrahim Olaifa, has been reinstated.
They also added that the suspension was based on the promise of the Lagos State government to commence the implementation of the new doctors salary scale (CONMESS) and also to consider the downward review of their taxes.
The protracted strike had terrible consequences for many residents with some losing family members or babies due to the unavailability of the doctors and subsequently nurses during the 7 week period.
