BEFORE YOU CASTIGATE THE DOCTORS GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! - As beautifully written by a colleague. Its rumoured that the presidential task force (PTF) receives #450k per day ( not month) as allowance per person . Whereas health workers , pre covid 19, are on 5k hazard allowance per month ( flat rate ) for all, irrespective of your status. When the pandemic started , with heat from the senate president , the hazard allowance was reviewed as follow * 70% of basic salary for all front line workers * 50% of basic salary for other clinical staff that are not front line workers * 10% of basic salary for non clinical hospital staff. The government promised to kick off the payment from March and review it again after the pandemic ( till now nothing has been paid) - life insurance for health workers was also part of the demands More than 10 doctors have died from this virus with hundrends exposed ( even myself ) and over 300 infected ( figure of the infected health workers are surely under reported) In my centre currently, about 5 resident doctors are receiving treatment in our isolation unit No PPE , most of the time ,we buy face shield, mask etc out of pockets ( some people are smiling at their bank accounts every blessed day ) * You need to know that many of the resident doctors are young , with little children , wives , husband , old parents at home , experience with LASSA FEVER has shown that this country is not worth dying for Most of the structures in our secondary and tertiary hospitals are dead . Surgeons, most times bring their Instruments to the theatre to operate patients - When the pandemic started federal government ordered that the retired but still active health workers should be temporarily called back to render service and support the fight against the virus ; alas , Jos university teaching hospital (JUTH) sacked about 26 resident doctors claiming they have out stayed their welcome in the training at the heat of the pandemic - WHAT NOW PROMPTED THIS ACTION ? About 3 days ago, the PTF , had a meeting with NARD , the out come of the meeting was that there is no money in the federation purse to pay the health workers as promised , life insurance ,not done. They claimed they have to revisit the agreement , however that the federal government is planing something robust for the health workers . 27billion naira was just approved, to renovate the national Assembly Very huge amount of money was just given out to renovate NTA It is obvious that this pandemic has not taught us any lesson as a nation . Obviously when the borders are opened, they will resume the medical tourism as usual. The only language they understand is industrial action! |

shegzieflex: Why don't you become a politician? you're supposed to be one since that's the only thing in your mind. The government subsidized your tuition fee, if you studied medicine abroad you would have to opt for student loan that is if they will allow you study it. But you become proud over here and start wishing to be paid like state governors and prime ministers. Rubbish |

Blame the government. Why make a promise that you cannot fulfill. In other climes, health workers are loved, appreciated, and adequately rewarded for all their efforts; but no, not in Buhari's Nigeria. Deception is the order of the day. You want these frontline professionals in the fight against the deadly pandemic to continue to work with their bare hands and still go with an empty stomach....ko le werk! 1 Like |

Well, I no longer practice medicine. Practiced for a few years before going into business and haven't looked back since then as business has been doing excellently well, easily out-matching whatever benefits I can get from practicing in the UK or Canada or wherever. A quote from a sane man |
