The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter, has condemned the attack on a nurse by suspected “one-chance” criminals shortly after closing from duty at Wuse General Hospital.
In a statement on Wednesday, February 18, the association said the nurse had stayed behind after her afternoon shift to assist a colleague on night duty in stabilising a patient at the intensive care unit before boarding a vehicle home.
She was allegedly attacked, beaten and left seriously wounded. Her colleagues said she is currently receiving treatment.
The union described the development as part of a troubling pattern of attacks targeting healthcare workers across the FCT.
