News
After our report last Sunday highlighting the plight of intern Nurses, Medical Laboratory Scientists, Dieticians, Physiotherapists, and other staff at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia who had been owed salary arrears, there is good news to report. A source within the medical center has confirmed that these dedicated healthcare professionals have started receiving their salary arrears for the months of January and February.
Recall, we had reported on Sunday how the intern staff members had been facing financial difficulties as they were owed two months' salary amidst the economic crisis in the country.
However, a management staff member, had claimed that the intern nurses and others were only owed their February salary and that it was not late as of Sunday, March 3rd, 2024.
Contrary to the claim, anonymous sources among the affected workers have confirmed that they have indeed started receiving their owed salaries for both January and February. This development comes as a welcome relief to the intern nurses, dietitians, medical laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, and other staff at FMC Umuahia, as it marks the first time this year that they have been paid.
These healthcare professionals have been working tirelessly to provide quality care to patients at FMC Umuahia, and the payment of their salary arrears is a much-needed boost. It is hoped that this payment will alleviate some of their financial burdens and serve as motivation for them to continue their valuable contributions to the healthcare sector.
The resolution of the salary arrears issue at FMC Umuahia is a step in the right direction towards ensuring the well-being and job satisfaction of healthcare professionals. It highlights the importance of timely and fair compensation for their hard work and dedication.
