UPDATE TO ALL MEMBERS ON WORK HOUR REGULATION (AND EXCESS WORKLOAD)
Good evening Distinguished NARDITES!
The leadership of NARD ably led by the Strategic P-MUS (Garkuwan Matasan Arewa), is pleased to update all members on a significant development arising from the deliberations of the FMoHSW Ministerial Committee on Work Hour Regulation and Casualization of Doctors.
Following extensive engagements and a comprehensive nationwide situational assessment involving 6,350 healthcare personnel across the six geopolitical zones, the Committee has developed a National Policy on Work Hour Regulation for Health Institutions in Nigeria.
The findings clearly demonstrated the urgent need to address excessive work hours, burnout, fatigue, inadequate rest, and the associated risks to healthcare workers and patient safety.
NEWLY RECOMMENDED WORK HOUR GUIDELINES
The following key provisions have been recommended under the new framework:
1. Maximum Weekly Work Hours:
Healthcare personnel shall work a maximum of 48 hours per week, including weekends. Any authorized excess hours shall be appropriately compensated.
2. Maximum Shift Duration:
- Day shift: 8 hours maximum
- Afternoon shift: 6 hours maximum
- Extended shifts exceeding 12 hours shall be limited to emergency situations only.
- All authorized excess hours must be adequately compensated.
3. Maximum Call Duty:
- A maximum of two call duties per week, including weekend calls.
- Calls must be equitably distributed among eligible personnel.
- A maximum of one weekend call per month.
4. Maximum Consecutive Duty Period:
There shall be an absolute maximum of 24 continuous hours of duty, inclusive of call duty.
5. Mandatory Rest Periods:
- A minimum of 12 hours between regular shifts.
- Mandatory 24-hour post-call rest following weekday calls, Saturday calls, Sunday calls, and public holiday calls.
6. Mandatory Break During Duty:
A minimum one-hour break after six hours of continuous work, including shift and call duties, shall be provided. Breaks should be appropriately staggered to ensure uninterrupted patient care.
7. Equitable On-Call Distribution:
Call duties shall not exceed two per week and one weekend call per month, with equitable distribution among eligible healthcare personnel.
8. Compensation for Excess Work Hours:
Authorized excess work hours must be properly documented and adequately compensated above the normal hourly rate, or appropriately balanced through structured time-off. This provision must not be abused by institutions.
9. Protected Research and Development Time:
Healthcare personnel in all institutions should have protected time for research and professional development, subject to approval by the appropriate National or Institutional Health Research and Ethics Committee.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
These recommendations are without prejudice to the stipulated maximum shift, call and rest durations, particularly in genuine emergency situations where patient safety and continuity of care may require exceptional arrangements.
We are pleased to inform all members that these recommended guidelines have been forwarded to all MDs/CMDs for implementation across all health institutions.
Hospital Managements and Heads of Departments are expected to take appropriate steps towards full compliance of these guidelines.
We strongly encourage all Centre Leaderships to engage their respective Managements and follow up on the implementation of these guidelines.
Members are encouraged to remain vigilant, document cases of non-compliance and channel legitimate concerns through their center leadership for necessary action by NARD.
We await the release of the second document addressing casualization and abusive locum appointments soon.

" ما معنى جهد البلاء؟
ودرك الشقاء؟
وسوء القضاء؟
وشماتة الأعداء؟
✨روى البخاري عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه, أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
( تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ ).
👈فأول هذه الأمور الأربعة,
💫جهد البلاء:
وهو كل ما أصاب المرءَ من شدة ومشقة, وما لا طاقةَ له به.
●فيدخل في ذلك: المصائب, والفتن التي تجعل الإنسان يتمنى الموت بسببها.
●ويدخل في ذلك الأمراض التي لا يقدر على تحملها أو علاجها.
●ويدخل في ذلك: الديون التي لا يستطيع العبد وفاءها,
●ويدخل في ذلك: الأخبار المنغصة التي تملأ قلبه بالهموم والأحزان والنكد وتشغل قلبه بما لا يُصبَر عليه.
●ويدخل في ذلك: ما ذكره بعض السلف من : قِلَّةُ المالِ مع كثرة العيال.
👈الثاني,
💫درك الشقاء:
أي, أعوذ بك أن يدركني الشقاء ويلحقني.
○والشقاء ضد السعادة.
وهو دنيوي وأخروي:
🔹أما الدنيوي:
فهو انشغال القلب والبدن بالمعاصي, واللهث وراء الدنيا والملهيات, وعدم التوفيق.
🔹وأما الأخروي:
فهو أن يكون المرء من أهل النار والعياذ بالله.
فإذا استعذت بالله من درك الشقاء, فأنت بهذه الاستعاذة تطلب من الله ضده, ألا وهو السعادة في الدنيا والآخرة.
👈الثالث,
💫سوء القضاء:
وهو أن تستعيذ بالله من القضاء الذي يسوؤك ويحزنك,
ولكن إن أصابك شيء مما يسوء ويحزن, فالواجب هو الصبر مع الإيمان بالقدر خيره وشره, وحلوه ومره.
●ويدخل في الاستعاذة من سوء القضاء: أن يحميك الله من اتخاذ القرارت والأقضية الخاطئة التي تضرك في أمر دينك ودنياك.
فإن من الناس من لا يوفق في اتخاذ القرار المناسب, وقد يجور في الحكم, أو الوصية, أو في العدل بين أولاده.
👈الأمر الرابع في هذا الحديث, هو الاستعاذة بالله من
💫شماتة الأعداء:
والمرء في الغالب, لا يسلم ممن يعاديه.
وَعََدُوُّكَ يَفْرَحُ إذا حصل لك ما يسوءُك, ويَغْتَمُّ إذا حصل لك ما يُفرِحُك, أو رأى نعمةً مُتَجَدِّدةً لك.
فأنت بهذه الاستعاذة, تسأل الله أن لا يفرح أعداءَك وحُسَّادَك بك, وأن لا يجعلك مَحَلَّ شماتةٍ وسُخريهٍ لهم.
سواء كانت عداوتهم لك دينية, أو دنيوية.
🔹واحرص أيها المسلم أن لا تكون من الشامتين, فإن ذلك من مساويء الأخلاق, ولأن الإنسان قد يشمِت بأخيه, فلا يلبث أن يُبتَلى بمثل ما ابتلي به غيره,
فقد تشمت بمريض فتُبتَلى,
وقد تشمت بفقير فَتُبْتَلَى بالفقر,
بل قد تشمت بمن ابْتُلي بمعصية, فَتُبْتلى والعياذ بالله,
☆والمشروع أن تسأل الله العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة.
🚩 ففي هذا الحديث:
دليل على استحباب الاستعاذة بالله من هذه الأمور المذكورة. فينبغي للمسلم أن يستعيذ بالله منها ".
