The severe burden that physicians and nurses are under as a result of a staffing shortage at the hospital has been dubbed challenging and worrying by the Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja branch. The doctors' spokesperson, Dr. Akinbami Adeola, made this disclosure while on a courtesy visit to the hospital in Lokoja. According to Dr. Adeola, the association had alerted the hospital's administration to their plight and the need for more help to stop this ugly situation, but nothing had been done.
