The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Cross River State branch has embarked on an indefinite strike.
This follows the kidnapping of a medical doctor serving at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH, Calabar by name Godwin Udo.
Dr. Innocent Abang, the State Chairman of the NMA disclosed this at the Ernest Etim Bassey Press Centre in Calabar.
He deplored the latest kidnap of a medical personnel saying the situation has gone out of hand and that the association cannot sit by and watch its members become prey to kidnappers.
The association, he said has reached out to various security agencies, wandering how Udo was kidnapped when there is curfew in the state and when soldiers have been on the streets of Calabar since last week Sunday.
He said doctors in the state are disappointed that even after the State House of Assembly had passed the Anti-kidnapping bill prescribing death sentence for offenders, the Governor is yet to act on it.
