The lingering strike action by the delta state university teaching hospital (delsuth) chapter of the nurses union over harassment meted on its members leaves much to be desired. This is the fourth week of the strike action which should have been resolved if relevant authorities are sincere about quick resolution of the crisis. They have been on strike two weeks before the NMA i.e Nigeria Medical Association called out its members on an indefinite strike nationwide. One of the bone of contention is over what could be termed unethical by a doctor to slap as nurse. Under the civil service law the doctor is supposed to be disciplined by going on suspension. This is what the management who are majorly doctors have refused to carry out. I don't know if they expect the delta state governor to directly intervene in an issue that can be dealt with internally! Let me use this medium to call on the state commissioner of health Dr Otumara to swiftly wade in and get the nurses back to work.
