NMA, NANNM adopts report of its inter-professional harmony committee

The Nigerian Medical Association and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives have unanimously resolved to adopt in its entirety a report of its inter-professional harmony committee set up to look into matters of professional disharmony in the health sector.

Several months after due investigations and negotiations, the committee have arrived at resolutions that will hopefully bring an end to the age long impasse in the sector.
