The Nigerian Medical Association(NMA) has warned that it will stop medical services nationwide if the government fails to meet its demands.
This is following the 21-day ultimatum it issued to the Federal Government, which draws to a close on July 23,2025
NMA President, Bala Audu, who confirmed this to newsmen on Sunday, said that the association was prepared to take decisive action should the government fail to respond to its demands.
Audu says that the association’s demands are critical to the survival of Nigeria’s healthcare system and the welfare of medical professionals across the country.
The NMA had, on July 2, issued an ultimatum in protest against a circular from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission on revised allowances for medical and dental officers in the federal public service, which the doctors kicked against for violating prior agreements.
