Dear Petition Signers,

I am thrilled to share an important update regarding the petition you all signed calling for the review of doctors' working hours and the abolition of the practice that forces them to continue working the day after a 24-hour in-hospital call.

I am delighted to inform you that the petition was successfully laid before the Nigerian Senate on June 11th, 2024. This is a significant milestone in our advocacy efforts, and it is a testament to the power of your collective voice.

The petition has now been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, who will review the proposal and provide their recommendations within the next 3 weeks. This is a critical phase, and your continued support and advocacy will be crucial in ensuring that the committee recognizes the urgency and importance of this issue.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you who signed the petition. Your actions have helped bring this crucial matter to the forefront of the national discourse. This is a testament to the power of collective action and the unwavering commitment of the Nigerian medical community to improving the working conditions and well-being of our healthcare heroes.

As we move forward, I implore you to continue praying for the success of this movement. Your voices and your persistence will be instrumental in driving the change that our doctors deserve. Keep sharing the petition, engage with your local representatives, and amplify the call for the review of doctors' working hours and the abolition of the practice that compromises their health and well-being.

Together, we can create a healthcare system that truly values and supports our doctors, enabling them to provide the best possible care to the patients they serve. Let's keep the momentum going and ensure that this advocacy effort leads to the positive change our Nigerian healthcare system so desperately needs.

Thank you for your unwavering support. Let's continue to fight for the rights and well-being of our doctors.

Sincerely,
Dr Alamin Usman.
