Kaduna Resident Doctors Commend Governor Uba Sani for Consistent Payment of CONMESS

The Kaduna State Chapter of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has commended Governor Uba Sani for his consistent payment of the Consolidated Medical Salary Scale (CONMESS) to doctors in the state.

In a letter of appreciation addressed to the Governor, the ARD praised his efforts to improve the welfare of state doctors, citing the full implementation of the 2014 CONMESS from September 2023 as a significant achievement. The association noted that this move has helped to tackle the internal brain drain that has plagued the state, leading to the loss of doctors to tertiary facilities within the state on a daily basis.

The ARD expressed its intention to present an award to Governor Uba Sani on a suitable occasion to sincerely convey their appreciation for his efforts. The association highlighted that within less than a year in office, Governor Sani’s initiatives have instilled hope among doctors and paved the way for addressing other healthcare system challenges for the betterment of the state.

“We commend Governor Uba Sani for his bold move towards improving the welfare of state doctors,” said Dr. Richard Daniel, President of the ARD. “His actions have shown that he is committed to addressing the challenges facing the healthcare system in Kaduna State, and we are grateful for his leadership.”

The ARD urged the Governor to continue his efforts to improve the healthcare system in the state, noting that his initiatives have made a significant impact on the lives of doctors and patients alike.
