The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has raised concerns over the loss of lives due to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and violent attacks on its members while on duty.
In a press statement dated February 5, 2026, the association noted that hospitals must not become killing fields, further condemning an assault on its members at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owo, in Ondo State, on the same date.
It also reported the death of a medical doctor, Salome Oboyi, a senior registrar in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos, Plateau State, after she was infected while operating on a Lassa fever patient.
