Why Doctors Should Continue To Be Hospital Cmd/md. by CEOUwaezuoke: 4:59pm On Jul 06, 2014 |
As d doctor's strike enters day 6, these are some things i think my friends out of d health sector should know: 1. As a university is to Ministry of Education so is a court to d min of Justice and Hospitals to d min of health 2. In universities we av Academic and non academic staffs; in court lawyers and non lawyers; in hospitals, doctors and non doctors 3. In uni, we av d VC, Registrar, Bursar, Librarian, Chief Driver etc; in court we av d Judge, Court clerk, Chief driver, Secretaries, Prosecutors etc; In hospitals, we av Chief Medical Director, Director of Admin, Chief Pharmacist, Chief Nursing officers, Chief driver etc 4. IN NIGERIA, before u become a VC, u know u must be an academic staff. Before u become a judge, u must first be a lawyers. Before u become a CMD/MD, u must first be a Doctor. These facts av been known to us(Nigerians) since Childhood! 5. It is rather amazing that there is no debate on Channels TV on who d VC should be (cos its known to all) or who should become a Judge(we also know that). But our discussions av been who is qualified to be a CMD/MD!(Has that suddenly changed?) 6. As a medical doctor, u can decide to work as a truck driver, a farmer, a university lecturer or a cement seller. But none of d above can work as a medical doctor. It is a sacred fact. Let's all respect d fact! 7.A bursar, Librarian, Clerk or driver will not become a VC in Nigeria unless they first become academic staffs even if they av 5 Ph. D degrees on how to run a university or cos they av been working with d university for 30years.A court clerk or driver or police prosecutor will never become a Judge based on 35years experience or acquiring Phd degrees in Criminology or other law related courses! Why are non doctors fighting doctors for leadership role in Nigerian hospitals? Why? We're Nigerians, this is Nigeria. 8. OAUTHC in ife is one of d biggest teaching hospitals in Nigeria. I want to use their last advert for d post of CMD as a template for who is qualified to be a CMD in Nigeria. Under d column- Qualification and Experience 1. Candidates should possess d MEDICAL DEGREE of MBBS or MBCh.B or equivalent qualifications plus full registration with MEDICAL AND DENTAL COUNCIL OF NIGERIA(MDCN) and evidence of completion of or exemption from d NYSC 2. The candidates must also hold a post graduate MEDICAL qualification of d Fellowship of d national post graduate medical college of Nigeria nd of d west african college of physicians or west african college of surgeons 3. The candidate must have been practising as a MEDICALLY-QUALIFIED and registered as such for a period of not less than twelve(12) years and must av considerable administrative experience in matters of health and holds a post graduate MEDICAL qualification obtained not less the 5years prior to appointment as CMD It is rather amazing that d phrase MEDICALLY QUALIFIED is being contested in court in all d above stated requirements. This advert is still very much available online for pple willing to verify. 9. My non doctor colleagues are saying d CMD's appointment are eventually going to be confirmed based on politics of d presidency therefore anybody should be qualified. But my question is: d VC's and d Chief Justices; are their appointments not subject to d approval of d president of d state Gov? Does that change d minimum requirement for these esteemed offices in Nigeria? 10. The bitter pill: As far as we are still in Nigeria. Be an academic staff if u av d dream of becoming a VC. Become a lawyer if u want to one day be a Judge. And kindly become a doctor if ur dream is to be a CMD! Afternoon, university education has no age limit. The law faculty and College of Medicine are always open for WILLING AND ABLE beings who want to possess their degrees.God bless d NOBLE Professions. Ojo Babawale O(MBCh.B Ife) |
