The doctors, who were seen carrying placards around LASUTH, are also protesting the non-employment of resident doctors by the hospital management, as well as casualisation and victimisation of doctors under the employ of the state government.
The Chairman of the guild, Dr. Biyi Kufo, therefore, appealed to the state government to accede to the demands of the doctors in order to prevent another round of strike in the state.
“We want the government to pay those withheld salaries of August and September 2014, to stop employing doctors as casual workers which they have been doing since 2012.
“These doctors on contract employment have no career path, they can be dismissed at the slightest notice and we want them to resume training of specialists at LASUTH.
“They are no longer employing doctors for specialist training and given a few years, there will no longer be specialists to render services to Lagosians.
“The government continues to victimise doctors and we want them to stop”, he said.
The chairman noted that the protest was held to draw public attention to the various acts of victimisation and intimidation against doctors under the employment of the state government.
