Workers at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, have protested against a proposed Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement involving the hospitalβs laboratory services.
The workers, under their respective unions, expressed opposition to the planned deal, raising concerns over its implications for staff welfare, job security and the future management of the laboratory.
During the protest, the workers called on the hospital management and relevant authorities to halt the process and engage them in meaningful discussions before taking any further steps.
They warned that failure to address their concerns could lead to industrial action, including a strike that may disrupt services at the hospital.
The workers maintained that decisions affecting the hospitalβs workforce and critical medical services should involve proper consultation with the unions and other stakeholders.
They urged the authorities to reconsider the proposed PPP arrangement and resolve the matter amicably to prevent disruption of healthcare services at the teaching hospital.
