MINISTER of Health Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu, Friday said that the nationwide strike called by medical doctors on July 1 would be called off beginning from Monday next week.

   The minister who briefed journalists in Abuja after a series of meetings with health sector stakeholders and representatives of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), said  that the ministers of Labour and Productivity and the Health Ministry held a 10-hour long meeting with NMA Friday and they agreed to call off the strike but on condition that government meets certain key conditions.

    Professor Chukwu who restated the Federal Government’s commitment to the growth of the health sector, disclosed that the three key demands of the striking workers have been addressed.

   Although the minister noted that most of the earlier demands of the striking doctors have been addressed, he said that government in the interest of the public has accepted to grant the doctors the outstanding demands.
