In 2015, a few months to the presidential elections , buhari was in a town hall meeting organised by Tinubu. When asked about how to revamp our health sector, he said he would stop political office holders from seeking medical treatment abroad and upgrade our health institutions to an acceptable standard. The last time I checked, buhari is the most travelled president in Nigerian history for medical tourism. Awon werey

Don't mind the werey man, counting down to his departure

Just read the topic, and stop derailing... You think this is funny.

No serious nation takes such situation lying low. To lose great scholars, physicians, and technocrats will be the final undoing of any developing nation... You should be worried, not pretending or making light of the situation.

The situation is actually worse than what NMA put up there... There is a serious catastrophe looming.

God bless you, most Nigerians behave as if they have low IQ. They don't think straight and that's why we're retrogressing. Tell them oo, maybe then go hear.

Is it 42,000 Useful doctors or 42,000 untrained Doctors. Because I understand charge and bail also existing within our medical system. And people have lost their Wives, Mother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Brother, sister, a Friend, as a result of these quacks

For anyone to graduate from medical school is not a joke. The white doctors on the other side are not better than ours, they just have a better system aiding their work.

Imagine having no electricity and performing an operation. Learn to appreciate our things here man.

evansjeff:
That's not the only problem. Amongst this 42000, a high number of the senoir doctors no longer go to the hospitals, especially teaching hospitals. They leave those student doctors who have no experience to be battling taking care of numerous cases thereby leading to avoidable loss of lives.

Even nma president is among those senior doctors and they will come around during exams to frustrate students

Holyfield1:
Yet Nigerian Universities won't admit more

I swear.
So stingy to give admission for medicine

But even when you give them admission,they will still graduate and leave

Gforce2015:
Why would a doctor be trained in Nigeria with tax payers money and then leave for another country in search for greener pastures?
Federal govt shld control all these abnormalities. There should be a policy that we compel all our medical students to use the knowledge they have acquired in Nigerian institution for Nigerians. They shld be compelled to work for the country for at least 5 years before traveling out for greener pastures

God forbid!
The one year internship plus one year NYSC is more than enough to serve Nigerians, then the young doctors can flee.

ogawisdom:


Do they attend to healthy people too?

Doctors are for sick ppl alone

Mr man in this country everybody is sick, the degree only differ.

Goldencheese:
For a country of 203 million people? And several doctors are still leaving the shores of Nigeria for better employment experiences abroad? Government needs to do more!

By April 2020 our population will multiple

This is what is obtainable in developed countries.
sadly we invest so much and get nothing in return..Nigeria is cursed.

Nigerians will turn this serious issue to comedy. Watch as Nairalander try to outshine themselves who is funnier on this sensitive post.

I already saw one. He was referring to charge and bail doctors.

Very stupid comments is what I always see whenever sensitive matters are discussed here on nairaland. I’m loosing my respect for this platform. Gone are the days of intellectuals. Smh.

Your Minister of Health said everyone cannot practice as doctors; some should go and farm!

We are not serious! My sister-in-law emigrated two weeks ago to the UK to start work. She had job offers waiting for her to accept. This is happening daily, soon all we will have will be native doctors!

The elite will travel for their health care needs.

you are a fuul

Wait till they're only 4200 left...

Ngige and PMB wants them gone, that funny quack ex-Health Minister wants them turned to farmers...

The goatherding dummies you elected are anti everything educated but you expect them to stay...

Everything falling apart on y'all, yet they keep telling you it's getting better... And some fuuls are busy supporting a mad 3rd Term Agenda for them to finally tank Naija ....una go hear when!

You'll all sit up when there's only 420 left

ogawisdom:
More than enough doctors

We have nurses, pharmacist, MLS, chemists, herbalist, native doctor. Not every sick person needs a med doctor

Your comment betrays your monicker

There is no wisdom in what you just said

No wisdom

1 doctor to 4285 citizens

Sure, you can make an educated guess about what part to replace.

If u don't know what it takes to become a doctor keep ur mouth shut.

I hope Dr. Philip that has killed many ppl is not among the 42,000?
It's high time u investigate these Dr. Especially those that claim to have studied abroad

If u go to this man's hospital, he will tell u that he is a cardiologist when u complain of heart issues. Then he will also tell u that he is a neurologist if u complain of anything in that part.
This is a man that started as dialysis centre were 18 out of 20 patients die before changing to hospital. He can speak Russian and German language to prove that he studied abroad.
He also have display of certification and pictures.
the last thing he will do is reference! Even if the patients are dying and theit area of health issues may not be related to what he claimed to have studied.
Sometimes I think he studied sonogram. This is because he is so good in ultrasound.
Doctors, in Nigeria should come together and investigate all doctors in private clinics and close down quacks among them. No matter their connection. Find out if they truly have licence to operate? Find out if they truly passed through the university and passed the exams and graduated as medical Doctors.

Lol, you would force a Doctor to treat you??
You clearly think like your Tyrant man crush Buhari lol...

Is it the doctors that don't know there work anymore only to fix hands in womans virginal. Is better to chuk 1 hand in 20 pussy than 20 hand in one pussy claiming she is about to give birth. Woman de see something

dokyOloye:

you are a fuul

I return it back to you sweetheart

The remaining 1 million are in Canada, US, UK, Australia

Or are you looking for them?

leave the fo.ol talking no.ns.ense! Paying 250k for the past 5yrs is taxpayers money ba?

I laugh NYSC for drs is not even neccessary,,,for those leaving

DR Ngige says Nigeria has more than enough!

It is unfortunate that when serious matters like health,education,unemployment etc call for a robust analysis,some people treat it as jokes.we are talking about life and death here for God sake!!.We are talking about losing our trained young men and women to other Continents.These are future youth that have spent 8-yrs in rigorous training!. what we see is situation that is appalling-the executive, the Governors,the National Assembly Members do travel abroad with their entourage for check-ups,medical tourism,emergencies etc.but if to spend billions on political champaign, jamboree,they would do,but to fulfill promises,including good health delivery,they wouldn't. shameful and wickedness to Nigerians Masses.Is providing Nigerian Populace with basic amenities like a good health delivery system a rocket science?.
We are all in it because the day your family members have medical issues and there is no Doctor around to attend,then all those above me talking rubbish will remember that health is wealth and that those in authority care less about your life.

EXLOVER:
Hope Dr Abigail that almost destroy my left and right nyash with injection is not among the 42000?



Since Buhari started pilotting the flight 1960 Nigeria, people became scared of the destination he is taking us to, people are leaving the country daily, soon babies in their mother's womb will hold on tight to something and won't want to come out, immediately they know they are coming to Nigeria under Buhari government.

it is not d duty of a doctor to administer injections... b careful of quacks among doctors, nurses...

This is alarming. The other worrying fact is there is nothing anyone can do about it, there is policy that can change anything. The pay gap between doctors in developed countries and Nigeria is too wide.
What can narrow the gap? It's not the president or the minister or policy, it's development. What will brings about development- ELECTRICITY.
Until we fix the power in Nigeria nothing else will work.

Yes, and we have over 200,000 in diaspora...UK, USA, Australia, Ireland, Canada....

And buharis minister of labor said the doctors should be going wherever they want...that nigeria has more than enough, so we can freely export doctors

What a country
