Pregnant women in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, are appealing to the Federal Government to meet the demands of the striking health workers in order to avert possible maternal and infant mortality.

The women at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, believe that mothers and children are the worst hit by the strike, considering their vulnerability.

Though few doctors from the hospital are on ground to attend to patients who troop in, patients still complain that the services they are getting cannot be anything compared to what they previously got before the strike, when other medical workers were on ground.

The Chief Medical Director of UCTH, Thomas Agan, also called on the Federal Government as well as the striking union to put the interest of the patients above all other interests and resolve their differences.
