Patients are currently stranded at the Muhammadu Abudullahi Wase Teaching Hospital (MAWTH) in Kano as healthcare providers are off duty observing the organised labour strike.
Daily Trust observed that many patients who have appointments with doctors have been left stranded due to the absence of the healthcare providers.
Some of them have left without any information regarding rescheduling of their appointments.
Speaking, Binta Muhammad who is a diabetic patient said, ‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have come out this early. I came out by 6am and arrived at the hospital around 7am only to be gold that there is nobody to attend to me.
“Now, I am left blinded without any tangible information and rescheduling of my appointment. I will just leave and come back when the strike is called off.”
However, a Senior official at the hospital who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told our reporter that despite the strike action, skeletal services are being rendered.
Daily Trust further observed that the State Secretariat – Audu Bako Secretariat housing the State House of Assembly, Office of the Head of Service, State High Court, Appeal Court and many other important ministries in the state have been shut down by the organised labour.
