There are loads of pending issue Shola I suppose. This is definitely not what we need now. Goan read about the SGF office in the US. Wise thinking doctors would av demanded that budget allocation to the health sector be increased, we'd all support them, trust me. Adequate infrastructure should also be on the table and a lot more. Buh what av we? SGF *spits*

That's why I called both unions bunch of clowns it's more or less a superiority battle now, anyway as far as more funding is concerned I believe they're approaching it the right way there's no developed country in the world where the government funds healthcare 100% like it's found in the nigeria, people have to start paying health insurance and that's what the NHIS will achieve. 2. If they can force public officials to seek healthcare here government will have no choice but to fix the hospitals and even build more but personally I'd rather they strike to get more funding for residency training, I read somewhere that the government spends 20million naira on it while the US spends $12billion u sef see gap


I don't believe in going on strike all the time to push for demands unfortunately the government is unresponsive to dialogue, and yes Shola is correct

The president of
the Nigerian
society of
physiotherapists Taiwo Oyewumi
has condemned in totality the
move to accede to NMA demands
by the Federal Government on the
appointment of Surgeon-General
and other related matters and have
sworn to fight government to a
standstill and collaborate with other
professional associations in the
health sector.
According to him, the NMA is trying
to go through the back door and
manipulate government to approve
what they cannot intelligently
negotiate for on a round table and
as a first line of action, NSP,
JOHESU, NUAHP and Assembly of
Health Professionals will have
press interaction at the Pharmacy
House in Lagos on Monday 6th
January, 2014 to address the issue
of the appointment of Surgeon-
General and other related issues.
The push has come to shove. Be
on look out for a show down. It is
unfortunate that the Presidency
made such pronouncement without
adequate consultations. This issue
is similar to how President
Goodluck Jonathan renamed
University of Lagos without
consideration for due process.
Our previous engagements with the
government on this matter made
the Senate and even various
presidential committees to throw
out the creation of position of
Surgeon-General.
Details of this press briefing would
be made available as soon as
possible.





Just what i have been waiting for

In a communique sent to us after today
press briefing in pharmacy house,
JOHESU may go on 5 day warning strike
begining from January 15th. Sundry
issues raised. Details later...

Consultants and Chief Medical Officers in other Government Hospitals in the Developed World (International best practices/standards).


We do not need to travel far and wide to know what is happening in other parts of the world because the world has become a global village, all thanks to information technology.
The conflict in Nigeria health sector has tugged me to search for what is obtainable on the key warring issues in other developed countries. Ideally the Nigeria Health system format is supposed to be compared with that of the Britain(not the American’s) since Nigeria adopted and is using the British educational/health systems; however reference has been made on American health system in this write up, for obvious reason. I deliberately sourced for all information from current and popular international encyclopedia and/or professional websites not hosted by medical doctors.

Medical/hospital Consultant
The term or title “consultant” is coined from consultation. It is wise to see the standard definitions of medical consultation; which are:
Medical consultation is a formal meeting with a medical doctor for discussion or the seeking of advice….{ www.en.m.wikipedia.org/consultation(medical)}.
It is also defined as a procedure whereby, on request by one Physician, another Physician reviews a patient’s medical history, examines the patient and makes recommendation as to care and treatment….. ( www.medical dictionary.freedictionary.com/medical consultation).

In the UK, Republic of Ireland and parts of the commonwealth countries Medical Consultant is the title of a senior hospital-based physician or surgeon who has completed all of his/her specialist training….. {www. en.m.wikipedia.org/consultant (medicine) , www.medical dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/consultant(medicine), www.gapmedics.co.uk/difference between consultant and a doctor in a hospital }



Consultant Pharmacist
In America Pharmacists are broadly grouped into two:
1. Health system pharmacist
2. Consultant pharmacist
The health system pharmacist is hospital-based pharmacist that provides care to patient on healthcare team. They undergo residency training but are not awarded the title of consultant….(www.asph.org).

Consultant Pharmacists are pharmacist that work as private pharmacist for individual elderly persons or is employed to work in old people homes(institute) to enhance quality of care for all old persons. They are non-hospital staff and do not undergo residency training but write preparation/recertification examinations. They are also called senior care pharmacist… (www.ascp.com).

In USA Consultant Nurse is a registered nurse who uses expertise as a healthcare provider and specialized training to consult on medical related legal case. They assist attorneys in reading medical records and understanding medical terminology and healthcare issues to achieve the best results for their client. They are non-hospital staff….( www.en.m.wikipedia.org/nurse consultant)

Chief Medical Director (Office)
This title is used in many countries for the senior government official designated as head of medical services, usually at the national level. He advices and leads a team of medical experts on matters of importance. { www.en.m.wikipedia.org/chief medical officer, medical dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/chief medical officer, www.ehow.com/chief medical officer, www. gov.uk/government/people/sally-davies}



Surgeon General
In the United States and many areas of the British Commonwealth, this title refers to a physician commissioned by government and entrusted with the public health responsibilities.
In Uk Surgeon General is the senior medical officer of the British Armed Forces… ( www.en.m.wikipedia/surgeon general UK/USA).

Hospital Chief Executive Officer is the highest management position within a hospital in the capitalist countries. He or she is expected to have masters in business Administration, masters in healthcare Administration etc….( in Nigeria such a position is designated as Director of Administration in Teaching Hospitals)……www.degreetree.com/how to become a hospital ceo.

Health Care Professionals are divided into two broad groups:
1. Core Healthcare Professionals
2. Support (Allied) Healthcare Professionals
The core professionals are doctors, nurses and pharmacists….others, except these three, are allied professionals…… (www.wikipedia.org/allied health professions)
