The Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu has appealed to the Nigerian  Medical Association to call off its industrial action embarked upon early this week in the spirit of the memorandum of understanding signed  with government representatives on Thursday.

 Professor Chukwu who noted that Government has already met twenty one out of the twenty four issues in contention said, the remaining three issues which include teaching and rural
 allowances, the position of Deputy Chairman Medical Advisory Committee and the issue of skipping could have been treated through administrative mechanism rather than a strike action.

While appealing to the striking medical workers to call of their industrial action and resume their services including emergency cases, Professor Chukwu assured them that  Government is doing everything possible to  address the remaining issues.
