The Federal Government of Nigeria has committed to releasing N11.995 billion within 72 hours to settle outstanding arrears for doctors and other health workers amid a nationwide strike. This follows a high-level meeting with the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), which began an indefinite strike on Saturday over unpaid salaries and welfare issues. The pledge includes payments for accoutrement allowances and builds on recent disbursements totaling over N40 billion.
Proposed changes to event healthcare standards and expanded Care Quality Commission oversight could drive nearly a third of doctors away from equestrian events. The reforms, stemming from the Manchester Arena inquiry, require individual CQC registration for doctors providing cover. Industry leaders warn of financial burdens that could threaten event viability.
