A middle-aged woman reportedly lost her life in Nasarawa State as no doctor was on hand to attend to her, following a five-day warning strike embarked on by the resident doctors at the state government-owned Dalhatu Specialist Hospital in Lafia. The pregnant woman, whose name was not given when our correspondent visited Dalhatu Specialist Hospital, Lafia (DASH), around 3:30pm on Wednesday, was said to have been booked for a caesarean section yesterday. But the operation could not hold due to the five-day warning strike. She died while waiting for doctors to attend to her.
