WombRaiders:
Why not simply let them go to service but not to serve in hospitals since the only reason for this crap is to avoid paying the 130k monthly allowee.

Useless confused APC govt

400billionman:


To collect N130,000 allawee for 12 months.

No be beans..

Infact, i am a doctor. I want to serve under NYSC..

Joel3:
that is how a corp. member almost blind my father eye balls from quack eye operations in one of the big hospital in town that offers free treatment but you buy their drugs. using humans as experiments. if you are in any hospital for operations and you see a corp member with a knife or injection run for your life.

mignone:


very well... where they are better respected but their arrogant &unprofessional attitudes not tolerated

WombRaiders:


stop spewing trash.

All medical students are qualified doctors on graduation and FYI you dont go to service before graduating from Medical school.

Wasn't this the norm before?

WombRaiders:
Liars!

The cant afford to pay their allowee any more.

Useless APC govt.

Well, if any body will suffer it will be the same northerners whose respective state govts depend wholly on NYSC graduates to fill in as Doctors and teachers.

WombRaiders:


And where does this allowance discrepancy come from? Isn't it becomes they are considered professional doctors during their service owing to the fact that the graduated from Medical school and that they are posted to hospitals as medical doctors?

HARDDON:
Is this the way forward?

Imagine some1 that spent 6-7years in sch, waiting another year or two b4 embacking on service to father land!

They want them to grow grey hairs first huh?

eaglechild:
After housemanship, doctors are given their permanent practicing license which is a requirement for service.

However, The Medical and dental council of Nigeria (MDCN) often delays the issuance of this license which can take up to 2 years after housemanship. This led to NYSC to loosen up and start accepting doctors who have evidence of completion of internship as they are deemed to be fully qualified.

Apparently, this has been explored by some miscreants leading NYSC to insist on the presentation of the permanent licenses.
Unfortunately, most doctors go for NYSC within weeks or few months after completion of internship which means that virtually none will have received the permanent license from the MDCN by the time they are ready to proceed for service. This automatically translates to disqualification of virtually all doctors who are due for service.

Freemanan:

Smh.... Did you even read the post? I guess you read only the caption.... Still smh

topsonjto:

its d best.... u can be practising wen u r nt qualified.... imagine ursed treated by a supposed Dr. dt is nt qualified...

HARDDON:


it does not change no jack, besides, Nigerian Medicine is eons away from what is obtainable in the advanced world.

a jill is a jill, whether u keep him 4 more years or not

lebete3000:


Your last statement is wat I want to make clear...he was probably checking for d dose of a drug as there are million medications and he has to know d exact dose to give...ds things are really difficult to memorize and it takes years of practise to know dem off-hand. Even abroad in d USA you see walls where dosage of drugs commonly used are pasted for reference.

I've said it times without number Nigerian doctors are among the best in Africa, otherwise we won't we acing PLAB & USMLE which are int'l exams. Ofcourse they'll always be unserious students who probably escaped from medical school or bought their way through med school but most doctors are actually trying I can assure you of that.

lebete3000:


So what's different in what d FG said and one who has gotten his receipt for full licence registration. I don't think there's any difference in what FG is saying cos it's actually those who've gotten their licence dat usually went for service in d first place.

onyxo76:
does it now take up to 2 years to get that permanent license? it was never like this in our days as fresh graduates/interns...i think i got mine within 3-5 months if i can remember correctly. With this development what will a fresh doctor be doing till he gets his FM number? just sit at home? Since most hospitals will not even accept someone who hasn't done NYSC...

confun:
doc, what I heard abt d last nysc batch was that dey were not allowed to enter camp with dir receipt or evidence of payment, dey told dem to get d main permanent licence gangan at abuja, I heard some had to travel from dir diff state of deployment to abuja to get d licence, I don't know if its true bt I got d info from a reliable source, unlike d previous corpers who were allowed to enter with receipt or evidence of payment for d permanent licence, dt was actually why I made d comment u quoted..

lebete3000:


But I have a feeling there's something different in what FG is saying here. cos why is d news just coming out when since last 2batch ppl av been barred from camp without physical evidence of licence.

Darlingboy4sure:
This is serious!
Further delay for medical graduates.

Those already serving now, will feel like singing Top of the world by Dbang
