Nigeria- The Chairman, Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) in Gombe State, Dr Adamu Bojude, has called on voluntary organisations to assist the doctors in rendering medical service to patients.

He said that in spite of the strike by the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU), doctors had been rendering skeletal service to patients.

The NMA chairman said the doctors could not manage situation alone, adding that it was only the Red Cross that had been assisting them in the hospitals.

He said the number of volunteers was limited, and called on other voluntary organisations to emulate the Red Cross.

Bojude added that doctors could only render service to out-patients at units like the Accident and Emergency units.

``I am appealing to people to come because the general impression is that the hospital is on strike.

``We, doctors are not on strike, patients should come, we are working,” Bojude said.
