Doctors Strike in UK and Nigeria Disrupts Services

Doctors in both the UK and Nigeria are engaged in industrial action over pay, working conditions, and welfare issues, significantly disrupting healthcare services. In England, resident doctors have ended their latest strike but may strike again, as unresolved issues with the government persist. In Lagos, Nigeria, doctors began a three-day warning strike over salary deductions and unpaid arrears, resulting in major hospital service disruptions and a 21-day ultimatum for further action. Meanwhile, the Nigerian Medical Association has suspended a planned nationwide strike, providing the federal government with a new 21-day deadline to address broader salary and welfare concerns. Healthcare leaders in both countries emphasize the urgent need for dialogue to resolve these disputes. The situation has raised concerns about the stability of health systems and the welfare of medical professionals in both nations.
