resident doctors in your establishment have voluntarily withdrawn from
the residency training program by refusing to report for training
without authorisation. public service rule, PSR 030402 (e) is relevant.

forward by the representatives of the National Association of Resident
Doctors (NARD) under the auspices of the Nigerian Medical Association.

doctors that have withdrawn their services, with others from the pool

the registrar of the National Postgraduate Medical College, to
