ogawisdom:u are taking this serious issue as a joke, because you are probably young, in your prime and in your best state of health, so will hardly ever have need to fall sick or visit the hospital. Don't worry the time when you might need medical attention direly is when you will know enormity of the situation. 4 Likes |

AjalaDtraveller: It depends on the country. Lots of Nigerians are able to complete the UK licensing exams from start to finish in under a year. They do this while still working in Nigeria and now migrate and start work after the exams. Moving to countries like Saudi Arabia is easier. The issue is migrating without a stable source of income before passing exams. Also, one should know what countries are in more need of doctors and hen8less bottlenecks. For Example, Canada doesn't need as much doctors in relative terms as UK and since they pay higher, prefer to poach the few they need from other developed countries 1 Like |

VirginSearcher: It has increased yet you've not travelled out as well? Do you think if everyone has the awareness and resources, the country would still be upto 200 million people? My friend don't let your hatred for Buhari blindfold your sense of reasoning. He's the worst president ever but he's not the reason why who ever wants to travel travels out. I left the country just cos of electricity and I'm sure thousands of others did too simple. |

The math doesn't add up. If there are 180 million Nigerians and 42,000 doctors it means we have 1 doctor to 4, 285 people if evenly distributed. If you skew it urban to rural you should have the ratio drop in urban whilst rural rato increases. |

If people are leaving cos of incompetence, then how did they manage to save upto that amount under his government? Remember the working class with good salaries have no reason to travel out.

VirginSearcher:Don't also forget that since border has been temporarily shot down, air is the next alternative, not everyone traveling out is relocating my friend, some travel out for business and pleasures consider g the numbers of people that recently travelled to Dubai. The Media only have records of those leaving the country and not those returning lol. Don't be deceived. |

Stop blaming your president for those who've made some money and decided to explore the world. People are hungry, Nigeria is never gonna be enough to make money, people will always have to travel for the greenest pasture my friend. Discover to recover |

AjalaDtraveller:What do you mean by retraining? Explain it to everyone. Which country are you talking about? Stop saying rubbish. If your friend is not up to date and decides to go for extra lessons, that's not retraining, because it's at his own discretion and not bounding on everyone. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. There's no country in this world that retrain doctors, please. Get your facts straight or better still, mention the country and the type of retraining he is undergoing. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is one area the government needs to focus on. Our hospitals are understaffed, underfunded and not properly equipped. Health sector workers need to be paid a living wage or they will relocate to countries that appreciate their skills. All the doctors I know - including those in my primary healthcare centre - have either relocated or are in the process of relocating. Very soon, the only health care workers that will remain in Nigeria will be those that are unable to work elsewhere. 1 Like |

Gforce2015: You have said the pure, undiluted truth and it is something that should be considered. I trained as a medical doctor and I will be forever grateful to the Nigerian government for giving me that education at very little cost. Doctors in other countries pay heavily for their education and even take on student loans to help reduce the burden, loans that will continue to pay for over a decade. The Nigerian government invests by heavily subsidizing medical education in this country, yet, at the end of it all, those whose education was subsidized will leave to other countries. Nigeria invests, while other countries reap the benefits. Federal schools on average charge 30-40k tuition per annum, some also charge far less (Uniben charges around 15k per annum). Imagine someone who paid N15k-30k annual tuition claiming that 150k per month salary (N1.8M per annum) is too small. Nigeria is literally paying to produce medical doctors for other countries. This thing has to be regulated. Students who study at government universities where their education is subsidized should be bonded to serve the country for 5 years. Those who want to leave before that should pay back to the government the total real cost of his or her training. Private University Medical graduates are free to do whatever they want since their education wasnt subsidized with the money of Nigerians. This should not be exclusive to medical students but to any professional course with shortages due to massive brain drain. 3 Likes |
