Relief for Doctors as Federal Government Begins Payment of Salary Arrears
There is a sense of relief in the medical sector as the Federal Government begins paying the outstanding salary arrears owed to doctors across the country.
The development follows months of complaints and growing tension within the health sector, with doctors repeatedly raising concerns over unpaid salaries and allowances. Due to the delay, the association had previously announced a strike which began on April 7, 2026 and decided to suspend it to resume by April 21 if their demands are not met after fresh payment assurances from the Federal Government
According to reports, payments have now started reaching some affected doctors, a move many see as a step in the right direction. While the gesture has been welcomed, there are still calls for the full settlement of all outstanding payments and improvements in working conditions.
For now, the payments have brought some relief, but conversations about lasting solutions in the health sector are ongoing.
