The Enugu State of Nigerian Medical Association, NMA has advised the Federal Government to withdraw the case instituted against the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD to bring about cordial resolution.
Enugu State Branch Chairman of the Association Jude Onyia, made the call in Enugu while speaking to newsmen, noting that at no time had court suits brought amicably settlement of industrial disputes.
He noted that the medical consultants might be working but it might not be effective and the number of patients to be attended to would be reduced as well.
Onyia, however, said the striking doctors are enjoying the sympathy of the general public, adding that it would be in the best interest of all for amicable settlement and plights of doctors looked into objectively.
It would be recalled that the Ministry of Health and the Federal Government through the Ministry of Labour approached the National Industrial Court through an ex-parte motion praying for order of interlocutory injunction restraining resident doctors in all States of the Federation from further continuing with the industrial action embarked on August 2.
