The National Association of Government General and Medical Dental Practitioners in Kano has raised concerns about the dire doctor-to-patient ratio, with only 600 doctors serving a population of 20 million—an alarming ratio of one doctor to 33,000 patients. Dr. Anas Idris Hassan, the association’s secretary, warned of a strike starting on October 1 if the Kano State Government fails to meet their demands. Issues include unpaid salaries for newly employed doctors, unresolved post-COVID-19 hazard allowances, and the poor state of hospital infrastructure and equipment.
