The Association of Resident Doctors has suspended its planned nationwide strike, earlier scheduled to commence today Monday 12th of January, 2026.
The North-central caucus of the Association announced the suspension after a series of consultations with Government representatives, saying the decision was taken in the interest of patients while discussions continue.
The caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, however said the suspension does not mean the issues that prompted the strike threat have been resolved.
The resident Doctors had planned to embark on industrial action over the continued failure of the Government to honour a memorandum of understanding reached with the National Association of Resident Doctors.
The Association said it would continue to monitor developments and would not hesitate to resume the strike if concrete steps are not taken to address the welfare concerns of Resident Doctors nationwide.
