Nigeria doctors' strike: Why are they striking?
Doctors in Nigeria's public hospitals have started a “total and indefinite strike” over what they describe as the government’s failure to address their grievances.
The Nigeria Medical Association says at least 50 doctors leave Nigeria every week to work abroad. Poor working conditions, coupled with bad pay and the rising cost of living are the main factors.
