ABUJA \u2013 The Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations and Unions yesterday called on President Goodluck Jonathan not to give assent to the National Health Bill recently passed by the Senate.<\/p>\n

Briefing newsmen, the association said \u201cthere will be no peace in the health sector if the bill becomes law.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Vice President of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria, Dr. Godswill Okara, who spoke alongside other executives, maintained that the bill single-handedly proposed by the Federal Ministry of Health infringed on their rights and vowed to take legal means to fight it.<\/p>\n

The Association indicted the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA and the Federal Ministry of Health for ignoring inputs made by other professional bodies that make up the health sector into the bill as the ministry and NMA are seeking to legitimize the culture of tyranny in the sector, \u201cby choosing to ignore our views\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
