The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) who gave a warning strike has on Saturday extended the ultimatum given to the Federal Government to meet its demands by another three weeks.
The new deadline is expected to elapse on the 17th of August, after which the doctors will resume its indefinite strike action.
The association complained bitterly about the lack of commitment on the part of the government to honour its promise shortly after the doctors association called off its strike on the 22nd of June.
Recall that on the 22nd of June, the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) suspended its indefinite strike action, which started on June 15.
After deliberations with its National Executive Council (NEC), the association gave the Federal Government four weeks to make good its promises.
