THE Association of Resident Doctors, General Hospital, Ilorin chapter, has appealed to Gov. Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara to employ more medical staffers for the facility.

The association made the call on Tuesday in Ilorin in their Sallah goodwill message to the governor.

The message was jointly signed by Dr Usman Abubakar, the President, and Dr Audu Charles, the Secretary.

The association stated that the shortage of medical staffers had hindered services in some departments of the hospital.

“Since the General Hospital, Ilorin is now a Teaching Hospital, it has become important to address issues that will help the smooth take-off  of the Teaching Hospital,” the association said.

The doctors, however, congratulated AbdulRazaq on achievements recorded in the health sector, especially in the areas of malaria control and the passage of Kwara State Teaching Hospital Bill.

“While congratulating you on these achievements, we do not want you to relent on your efforts to make Kwara a shining star among other states in the country,” the association said.

The association also noted that the domestication of the Medical Residency Training Act (MRTA), was long overdue.

“This will allow the resident doctors to have better research and training opportunities and translate this into good medical services for the people.

“We know that as our leader, you will help look into this as it requires very urgent attention,” the physicians said.(NAN)
