Dear Bloggers,

My brother is a medical doctor and presently doing his NYSC. He is really concerned about getting a job that amount to :

Hard Work + Good Pay = Satisfaction.

i'd appreciate your kind opinions on name of hospitals, parastatals, corporations and their take home packages.

thank you.

Your brother must be in dreamland if he thinks he can get that kind of a job!

1.the medical profession is not that lucrative anymore & its either

Hard work plus little pay equals dissatisfaction

little pay plus little work equals some satisfaction

Frankly,

it would be difficult to give you the breakdown for these orgs cus it depends on what ur bro wants to do

see https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-53713.32.html#msg2313821


but i will try to help

For residency program in federal hospitals he will be started on abt 130-150k/month

Private hospitals depends on negotiation

NGOs same, but if he gets into an international body he may hammer! (he will need a masters in public health)

My advice. . . let him decide what he wants to do post NYSC & start doing his research now!!!

NNPC is a good place, and i guess the pay must be good cant he look into being retained there?

the masters is a good idea, the little i know about the military i think he has to enlist/enter as an officer and go thru some training & basically work in the bases,may also go on field missions ie WARS!

that aint funny, i think the pay would be similar to that of ranking officers

@ Mcdreamy thanks dearie.

isn't it surprising how very little people know about the welfare of one of the most important professions in the world?

the NMA should call for a round table discussions on this. we need the doctors around and happy for a nation to be truly healthy.

the NMA has actually initiated proceedings on getting a standard pay structure for doctors but its only the federal institutions that heed them,they are not binding on the states & private orgs. thus those ones pay as they see fit,of cus that is hinged on how much they make.
