The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals on Friday warned the National Assembly against proceeding with proposed amendments to laws establishing health regulatory councils, describing the move as potentially destabilising to the health sector.
The union also called on the Federal Government to take urgent steps to address worsening economic hardship, rising energy costs and insecurity across the country.
The resolutions were contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the union’s statutory National Executive Council meeting held virtually.
Members of the National Administrative Council attended the meeting, National Executive Council representatives from health institutions across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as leaders of healthcare professional associations affiliated with the union.
In his opening remarks, the National President of NUAHP, Dr Kamal Ibrahim, assured members of the leadership’s commitment to protecting their welfare, fundamental rights and working conditions.
