The Emigration Of Doctors From Nigeria Is Not Today’s Problem, It Is Tomorrow’s by Naijiant: 9:44pm On Oct 15, 2018 |
In a speech delivered by the Nigerian Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole at the 38th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria, he argued that the number of doctors in Nigeria was sufficient and that the real problem with the health workforce was the uneven distribution of doctors. He went on to say that the ratio of one doctor to the over 5,000 population in Nigeria is better when compared to other African countries. In an interview afterwards, when asked how the government was addressing the issue of doctors not having sufficient residency placements for training and having to move abroad, he said, “it might sound selfish, but we can’t all be specialists… Some will be farmers, others politicians. The man who sews my gown is a doctor. He makes the best gowns….” His comments require some unpacking.More: https://www.naijiant.com/guestcolumn/the-emigration-of-doctors-from-nigeria-is-not-todays-problem-it-is-tomorrows/ |
