Delta State Commissioner for Health, Dr Joseph Onojaeme, has warned that the state would deal decisively with doctors and health workers absconding from their duty posts.

Onojaeme said the warning became necessary following reports of absentee doctors especially consultants at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, DELSUTH, Oghara in Ethiope West Local Government Area of the state.

The Health Commissioner who disclosed this during a one-day working visit to the hospital on Friday, said the state government spends a lot money in paying worker’s salaries hence would not tolerate indolent and lackadaisical attitude to work.

He stated that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda frowns at workers who indulge in such attitude to work and warned that anyone caught in the act would be severely dealt with.

According to him, we got information that a lot of doctors were not coming to work so I came to DELSUTH Oghara today to do an on site assessment of the complain I got.

“I noticed that in Obstetrics and Gaenacology for example, out of the 15 consultants we have only a handful of them that are coming to work and by extension there are 7 consultants out these 15 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology that have not done one single case and I reprimanded them.

“Workers must come to work because the state government is spending a lot money paying workers and this must stop.

“So I sounded a warning to the doctors and other health workers and even in the Pharmacy we noticed that there a lot of drugs that have expired and I have told them to keep proper record of their minimum and maximum stock to avoid wastage.”
