Health Workers Rally in Abuja Against Proposed Reform Bill

Health workers under the Joint Health Sector Unions and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations are protesting at Unity Fountain in Abuja. They oppose a health sector reform bill before the National Assembly, warning it would shift all medical professions under the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria. Protesters argue that each profession already has its own regulatory council. They fear the bill would subordinate non-physician professionals and create an imbalance in the sector. The unions plan to march on the National Assembly complex to press lawmakers for a rethink. They say the outcome could reshape regulation and affect healthcare standards nationwide.
