This plea was made by the governor while receiving national officials of the association led by its President, Dr. Mike Ogirima on Friday in Osogbo. He said that in as much the medical practitioners wanted to make a firm stand about their demands, they were expected to hold the good health of the people in the society above all other things. ”˜It is unfortunate that our society has deteriorated. We have lost values in virtually everything especially on the need to prioritize our well being. Doctors and other healthcare professionals are expected to be the vanguards of saving lives. They are expected to be more concerned about the people’s health than pursuing the welfare of their members.’ ”˜Not until this is championed by all medical practitioners, our society remains unsafe’. Aregbesola said. The governor also said that Osun state was the only state apart from Lagos state in Nigeria to run all round 24 hours ambulance service. The NMA president however lauded the governor on his humility and high sense of commitment to human and capital development. He also added that the association would continue to support the state to develop the welfare of its people.
