Doctors under the Federal Capital Territory Administration in Abuja have declared an indefinite strike, sparking major concerns for healthcare access in the capital.

They accuse the government of underpayment, poor working conditions, and lack of career advancement opportunities.

The strike is expected to strain already overburdened hospitals and disrupt services for thousands of patients who depend on public healthcare.

Observers warn that unless the welfare concerns are resolved quickly, the standoff could deepen Nigeria’s broader health crisis.
