URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.

Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.

Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.

According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.

They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.

Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,

I don’t know these doctors personally,
But we can’t watch evil and say nothing.
Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,

It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.

Pls share and retweet. Thank you.

A large Swedish registry study shows that a previous caesarean delivery is significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent stillbirth. Pre-labour caesarean appears to confer the greatest risk.

ACOG no longer recommends 17-OHP for prevention of recurrent preterm birth. And does not recommend vaginal progesterone as an alternative, unless cervical length is 25mm or less.

A systematic review comparing maternal & perinatal morbidity & mortality outcomes between vacuum extraction and second-stage caesarean section shows vacuum extraction should be the preferred mode of birth in both high and low-middle income countries.

[BJOG @BJOGTweets]

Second-stage C-section more than doubles the risk of preterm delivery in a subsequent pregnancy, and the risk is greater still if this full-dilatation C-section follows a prolonged second stage of labour.

A study following-up women for up to 18-years after childbirth has found that caesarean section conferred no benefit for women's sexual enjoyment or frequency compared to vaginal delivery.
