Some of the demands of the doctors include: immediate massive recruitment of clinical staff in the hospitals and abolishing the bureaucratic limitations to the immediate replacement of doctors and nurses who leave the system.
Other demands include immediate infrastructural development in public hospitals with a subsequent allocation of at least 15 percent of the budgetary provisions to health in line with the Abuja declaration of 2001 and immediate increment in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure, CONMESS, to the tune of 200 percent of the gross salary of Doctors among others.
