The doctors were called for a special general assembly today.
Ebuku however says even when the industrial action takes effect, they will not forget the oath they took as doctors to serve the populace.
'There will be a special team on call incase there is a hospital and these will be on call,” he said.
Ebuku adds that the public needs not to forget that the doctors’ availability at wards doesn’t mean no one will die as death is inevitable.
