MDCAN gave the directive in a statement jointly signed by its National President, Prof. Ngim Ngim, and Secretary General, Dr Affiong Ibanga on Friday in Calabar.
According to MDCAN, it will not condone any harassment from members of JOHESU against other health workers willing to offer medical services to the general public as the strike continues.
The association directed its members to work with the management team of their hospitals to continue to provide services within the limits of professional safety.
MDCAN, however, said it recognised the right of workers to negotiate terms of engagement with their employers but it must be done within the ambit of extant laws and in compliance with international best practices.
The association appealed to Chief Medical Directors (CMDs) of tertiary hospitals to rise up to the occasion and take steps to provide necessary materials for service delivery.
MDCAN also urged the CMDs to ensure the security and safety of consultants and other workers who are not on strike.
The association advised the Federal Government to implement the Yayale Ahmed Committee report on resolution of inter-professional disharmony in the health sector with a view to put an end to the crisis in the health sector.
JOHESU embarked on strike on April 17, demanding an upward review in wages
