Court Restrains Resident Doctors in ESUT Teaching Hospital from Strike
A Federal High Court in Enugu has issued an interim injunction restraining the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) in the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUT) from embarking on a strike.
The court granted the injunction following an application by the hospital management, which argued that the strike would cause harm to patients and disrupt medical services.
The hospital management had approached the court seeking an injunction to restrain the ARD from going on strike, pending the determination of a suit filed by the hospital against the doctors.
The hospital management had alleged that the doctors were planning to embark on a strike over issues such as inadequate staffing, poor working conditions, and non-payment of salaries.
The court, in its ruling, ordered the ARD to maintain the status quo and not take any action that would disrupt medical services in the hospital.
The hospital management has been directed to serve the court's order on the ARD, and the doctors have been warned not to take any action that would contravene the court's order.
The court's decision has been welcomed by patients and hospital staff, who are relieved that the strike has been averted for now.
The case is still pending in court, and the hospital management has been ordered to appear before the court on a later date to argue its case against the doctors.
