How rejection at NASS Clinic puts lives of junior workers at risk

The rejection of a patient simply identified as Abdul by the National Assembly NASS Clinic on Wednesday morning was all that exposed the harrowing experience of some class of workers in the National Assembly, Abuja.

Abdul, a cleaner with Fulus Cleaners was busy mopping one of the toilets on the second floor, Senate Wing, New Building when he suddenly slipped and hit his head on ground. He was rushed to the clinic, but the medical officers asked whether he is a staff and whether he has National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) number.
