The patients made the appeal while speaking with newsmen at the hospital in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The duo of Mr Matthew Ademola and Madam Aina Balogun said they could not receive medical attention at the Diagnosis Centres of the facility as medical laboratory workers were not on the ground to attend to them.

LEADERSHIP also observed that the entrance gate to some areas within the hospital were shut.
UCH chapter Chairman of JOHESU, Mr Oladayo Olabampe said the strike was only observed in federal health institutions.

He pointed out that their demands include immediate upward review of CONHESS salary as applicable to CONMESS in 2014; others are tax waiver on allowance, upward review of retirement age of health workers to 65 years and 70 years for consultants, among others.
