As the twenty-one-day ultimatum it issued to the Federal Government draws to a close on July 23, the Nigerian Medical Association has warned it will ground medical services nationwide if the government fails to meet its demands.

Its President, Professor Bala Audu, who confirmed this in an interview with newsmen on Sunday, noted that the association was prepared to take decisive action should the government fail to respond adequately to its demands.

Professor Audu stressed that the association’s demands were critical to the survival of Nigeria’s healthcare system and the welfare of medical professionals across the country.

The association issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to withdraw the circular and meet its other demands to avert industrial action in the health sector.
