The Lagos State Government has appealed to medical doctors to postpone their three-day warning strike, scheduled to begin today, stating that negotiations and engagements with the Medical Guild are ongoing.

This was announced in a statement issued by the Director of Public Affairs at the Lagos State Ministry of Health, Tunbosun Ogunbanwo.

The government assured that all grievances of the doctors were being looked into with utmost sincerity and urgency.

It was reported that the Medical Guild, the association of doctors under the employment of the Lagos State Government, on 26 July declared a three-day warning strike.

The warning strike, scheduled to begin on Monday, was announced by the Medical Guild at a press conference.

The state government acknowledged the concerns raised by the leadership of the guild, emphasising that the government was particularly concerned about the welfare, motivation, and productivity of all healthcare workers in the state.

The government commended Lagos residents for their patience and understanding, assuring the public that contingency plans are being implemented to minimise the impact on healthcare services during the period.
