The only time I’ve ever had to swear an oath in my entire life was to enter into this profession.
But what can I say? I guess it’s official:

DR. OLUWAFOLAKEMI OLUDURO (MBChB Ife) 🩺

Academic comeback loading!

1. This time last year, January 1st, as everyone was celebrating the new year, my classmates and I were jubilant for a different reason. Everywhere you looked, people were posting “This is the year I become a doctor.” The joy was palpable. We were meant to graduate in 2025. We were that close.

2. Then, boom - Our consultants’ striked. We thought it was going to be a brief interruption, but it stretched into three to four months, pushing our graduation from last year to this year. Still, we held on to hope.

3. Now, we are closer to the end again. By the current academic schedule, April 1st is the date we are supposed to write our last paper of the MB examinations. For the first time in a long while, we allowed ourselves to be hopeful again.

4. And then, history began to repeat itself. For over two months now, teaching hospitals across the country have been on strike. First, it was the Association of Resident Doctors, and then the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) followed. While the resident doctors suspended their strike pending the signing and implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding, as we speak, none of those agreements have been met by the Federal Government.

5. JOHESU, on the other hand, remains on strike till today. These disruptions have severely affected our medical training; our studies, our clinical postings, and our preparedness for final examinations. We are now hearing that we may not be able to finish by April 1st, with talks of extending our clinical postings by at least one more month because the strike has had such a devastating impact.

6. There's even a more troubling rumour that the consultants may be forced to resume their strike, as many of the demands from their last action remain unresolved. If that happens, we will once again be left hanging, uncertain, stalled, and trapped in a cycle we did not create.

7. Once again, our lives are on pause.

8. What is even more alarming is the silence. Teaching hospitals and other Public hospitals have been partially or completely shut down for over two months.

9. Where have Nigerians been getting healthcare from? Are we suddenly so wealthy that everyone can afford private hospitals? What happens to the poor, the vulnerable, and those with emergencies? Why is everyone quiet? Why is no one asking questions?Why are we not collectively calling on the authorities to act?

10. Healthcare is not a luxury. Medical education is not expendable. The future of doctors and the health of millions of Nigerians cannot continue to be treated with this level of indifference.

11. We are calling on the Federal Government to act urgently.

12. Honour agreements. Resolve outstanding issues. End these strikes. Restore normalcy to our hospitals and our schools. This silence is loud. And the cost of inaction is one we are all paying for.
