Essential medical activities were on Tuesday brought to a halt as Resident Doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, embarked on an indefinite strike.
The doctors, under the aegis of Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), commenced the indefinite strike over the implementation of a new tax law which they described as exorbitant and lacking uniform application.
The doctors alleged that the Management of LUTH had been deducting huge amounts from their monthly salaries as tax.
A check carried out by the News Agency of Nigeria at the institution revealed that the Outpatient Ward was deserted by patients because the doctors were no longer attending to them. NAN reports that some patients on admission were seen leaving the hospital premises.
