Vickyydera: Lobish, do they serve the nation beyond one year? This is illogical and cheating. It is called national service not professional service. If they are favoured than others it means the government is telling us that doctors are better citizens than other professionals. 2 Likes |

zubby55: Dmls? Chia! chairman be truthful small abeg. I wonder why these med lab guys always like lying. una be Liar Muhammad? yoy always like comparing yourselves with the med Dr's and pharmacist's why in actual fact only God knows what you people are doing. In terms of everything you don't come close to these people you compare yourselves with. even in school you don't undergo the stress they go through. I blame the pharmacists for joining that illegal union called JOHESU. While medical and pharmacy students are always occupied with their studies in school, you guys are always busy chasing men and women or attending parties. student nurses do more work than you self. Dmls my foot. 6 Likes |

I honestly believe all professions are important and do their part to move the economy forward. However, it is quite difficult to quantity the extent of workdone in relation to pay. Doctors deserve to be paid well with respect to international best practices. So also should other professions. I think the issue here is relativity. I'm a doctor, I work extra hours, extra days and night (weekends and holidays inclusive). I don't own my life: my patients own me, not even my family. I'm exposed & susceptible to diseases daily e.g ebola, HIV, hepatitis. With all these, I think I deserve to be paid more but would love it more if other professions are paid `relatively' well. 7 Likes |

Why all d noise abt corper doctor pay D only reason for d disparity is dt doctors r still relatively more scarce, am yet to see them carry CV arnd begging for job. Scarcity creates value dts simple economics. Abundant supply kills value Every other profession is over bloated, u will see engineers begging u to give them job to teach in primary sch for mere 8k monthly, lawyers will beg for 20k to b in a chamber n so is other professions. But in d real world when d chips r down doctors r nt even classed as rich 6 Likes |

nelszx: Quickie for you, over the past five years,how has the medical sector been able to contain the rising case of mortality rate in Nigeria?? How many govt owned hospitals can proudly come out and boast of giving the best medical care TO THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN? We,the engineers can proudly say we satisfy the needs of the high and meek on a regular,rigours or not,night or day,securing your safety on the road,in ur homes we conveniently ensure the best for you,and try to be good citizens while we are at it... How many certified engineers can u point out that has headlined the media for been FAKES compared to our beloved docs? |

chiefmidwife: Everybody serving the Nigeria is definitely receiving the same pay and that's 19800. The discrepancy that you have noticed is not coming from the federal government. The federal government pays everyone the same. It's coming at the level of the state and local government, and it's based on what they value. Where I served, Teachers were paid more than pharmacist by the local government chairman. It was only doctors that earned more. The local government said he needed more doctors and teacher than other professional, in fact he paid the Zonal inspector to please influence the deployment of teachers and doctors to his LG. So its about the demand. Federal government pays everyone equally |

cassie29:The course duration isn't 7yrs,it's 6yrs.So if u spent 7yrs+,blame strike or your unintelligence for that,the latter for probably having issues at one level or the other.Some professions also go for internships;the likes of pharmacy,physiotherapy,med lab and optometry.Apparently, the nurses are closer to the patients than any other set of practitioners in the hospital as a whole.Close to 200k for the lucky ones that served as interns in federal hospitals or teaching hospitals.The ones in states and privates earn nothing close that figure. And for your last statement,not everyone has the passion to put in for medicine.Your statement only points to the fact you filled in medicine for the prestige,job security and money,, ostensibly not for the passion to save lives.If you're a med student,I seriously hope you don't have that misnomeric mindset you'll be raking in hundreds of thousands after NysC as a med doctor,if so,you'll be damn frustrated and disappointed if you have no passion for it ultimately,reason being it isn't so. Mind you,I'm not into d health aspect @ all.So this isn't sentiment. 1 Like |

All those in d medical team are paid higher because they r used 2 run most primary health care facilities.for instance I was the only doctor in the community I served and had 2 take care of the health need of the whole community.even during training as interns,they r paid higher than they receive during service.so the pay is jst like an encouragement because they deal wt lives |

I see no reason why they shouldn't be paid much. While serving i had a doctor friend, also serving and getting 98K outside Alawie.. but i couldn't envy her because she had no personal time. She was also in the hospital running shifts, doing surgeries, helping women deliver their babies, doing everything a doctor in a hopital does. They can call her from 12midnyt to 12pm daily So i say she deserves it as well as many docs out there subjected to such 6 Likes |

Drdonzeez: right from the classroom to the hospital you know deep within you that they work more than you do. on relativity you should have known that you are not on the same scale. If not in Naija have you ever seen a laboratory scientist comparing himself with a Dr or a pharmacist's? I've seen a number of them boasting even with their defective knowledge of physiology and biochemistry that they can handle a patient when they know nothing about pathology, pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics. A nurse is more clinically sound than you are. I was reading in the common room and one of them approached me challenging my knowledge of pharmacology. I asked her a simple question on the first line drugs used in the management of malaria in Nigeria and she said ACT. I then asked what ACT was and she said tetracycline. I'm a pharmacist and because I want a greater responsibility and role as regards the patient, I got into medical school. Everyone is important in patient care but some comparison are baseless. 4 Likes |

croSStodds:I even over-rated midwifery self. The whole midwifery is about 1/20 of O (obstetrics) in O & G ( Obstetrics & Gyaenecology). So, in whole, midwifery is about 1/300 of Medicine & Surgery, in scope and content. In MBBS, we have over 30 degrees compressed into two degrees. Everything they learn in Midwifery school for 18months, is taught in medschool in less than a month. 2 Likes |

nelszx: keep on deceiving yourself. A pathologist is a specialist doctor not a laboratory scientist. As for the Dmls, anything that will lead to improved patient care is welcome but not when you can't even run your bmls. you lack the facilities and personnel. Most of the universities running bmls now have their licence withdrawn by the NUC. Only your council is kicking so i don't know where you are coming from by saying that the curriculum is being reviewed for start up. |

Querty: Their pay appears higher because they take calls, and spend extra hours more than the regular job. Pharmacists, med lab scientists are also paid higher than the average corper. |
Re: Why Medical Doctor Corpers Are Paid Higher In Service(nysc) by nelszx: 2:14pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
rotimileke: Comprehension is ur problem read before you react. NUC don't withdraw licence but the council does. I shouldn't be educating you here or isn't MDCN and PCN the bodies that gives licence for medical and pharmaceutical practices in the university? Well you have only said ur opinion and it's respected but don't go spread falsehood you not sure of. Physiology and Biochemistry is 2 years same as for medicine, pharmacology and therapeutics is a full academic session, pathology u study till you graduate (u specialise in one) and clinical Chemistry and toxicology is just an aspect of it |
