NMA issued a statement last week, condemning the attack on Kano city’s central mosque and commending its members for helping tend the injured in the aftermath of the blast.
NMA chairman in Kano, Dr Mohammed Ibrahim said the loss suffered by survivors had made doctors’ efforts worthwhile,  “all hospitals in Nigeria are open and doctors are available to provide them with medical care and support despite the ongoing non-doctors’ strike.”
The explosion, which killed many and left others injured, also prompted Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) to suspend its strike, which was to start on December 1 in Kano.
JOHESU’s chairperson in Kaduna, Cecilia Musa, however told Daily Trust the strike would continue as  long as their demands were not met, insisting federal government had not taken any steps to end the impasse.
