When we were telling people note to vote in this government, all of you were shouting change. Hope you are all enjoying the change. 2023 election is coming soon, lets see if Nigerians will get sense this time. I pray this document doesn't see the light of the day. Interns and house officers are under training truly but they should be paid very well because they actually work so hard and do most of the work in a teaching hospital. The federal government should just be preparing for another industrial action from our health institutions. This is what you see when you vote cluelessness into power. ARD and resident doctors should start warming up too for their own document. 2 Likes |

armadeo: It may affect the interns and house officers today, tomorrow they will lay off and cut wages for workers in other sectors too. The country is clearly broke. I still maintain Somalia and Venezuela will be child's when the full blown economy crisis peaks. |

Zoe99: I know that. I also hold a medical degree. Yes but with limitations. Unless it's in rural areas and in serious cases where death is certain if surgical intervention doesn't occur. Some young doctors get liver sha. |

[ No. The issue is that there's a systemic imbalance in the system and it has not always been so. quote author=Vaughanlanrewaj post=101083833]If a Resident doctor earns more than a full fledge Dentist [/quote] This is not true, a full fledge Dentist earns more than a resident doctor or Pharmacist, that is just one of the symptoms, the real disease is that the system is unbalanced and doesn't attract talents from other healthcare fields. When and where did the rain start beating us? Why is this problem so endemic in the healthcare sector only? You need to go down memory lane to understand but it appears you are not familiar with the background to the issue. Currently, the public health care system is not attracting great talents again and the problem is because of these imbalance that started from the late Prof Olikoye Ransome-Kuti era as minister. I ran into several documents warning the IBB administration then not to transfer the administration of the public health care system to just one professional group but the counsel went unheeded. The system is actually killing itself and the solution is to go back to how it was before Prof Olikoye Ransome-Kuti changed things.Give the administration of public healthcare to a professional chartered group that every health care professional can sit for its exam and get licence to be a chartered healthcare management professional. As we type here, there are more experienced medical doctors in political offices in and out of hospital than those in core medical duties inside the hospital because of the political offices they corner from ward to LGA to state and Federal Government level. In fact, I know one the FG sent overseas for a highly technical field in cancer and soon as he got back he is now a political office holder attending political meetings and treating files! We don't have enough doctors yet they are all over the place in political appointment, so who is at the receiving end? The citizens and the country. |

sulaak: Keep the insults, I only feel sorry for those that really needed the money. I can't remember them doing another job, so maybe it was from inflated price of textbooks. Well, the only thing that annoyed me was how they campaigned for APC. |

armadeo: You obviously didn't get my point. Count how many LGAs,Governors, Political office holders etc have special advisers on health who are doctors first, now add to the several doctors on political appointment as all the heads of Tertiary hospitals, FMCs, State General hospitals, Directors in one agency or another and you keep wondering if we are truly short of doctors because of the numbers or because a lot of trained hands have been sucked up by the political bazaar instituted by late Prof. My point is that the current system will either kill itself or self-correct. At some point in time, even the Registrar of the Nursing Council is a doctor and same with NAFDAC! So if these hands are all absorbed in political and administrative duties that are not their core functions, who will train and mentor the young doctors? 1 Like |

Vaughanlanrewaj: I still say bollocks. There are still more than enough senior doctors whom are available to train younger ones. In the same tone count how many engineers, lawyers and othernpolotcla office holders who could be training younger ones but are politically inclined. Its across board and not limited to the medical field. |

Spidermon:A doctor with MBBS can perform any surgical procedure anywhere in the country, so long as he's competent in it. Most doctors in private hospitals don't even have ordinary masters to their name. Yet they perform all forms of surgeries in their theatre. Residency training is not a must n u don't need to be a consultant to operate...As far as naija is concerned. Have u heard of the word chronic medical officer? |

armadeo: That you are comparing an Engineer who can build one building or bridge at once to serve millions of people for years alone show that you are incapable of understanding it so don't bother. Whoever is telling you that there are enough senior doctors for trainees is lying to you. Maybe if they recall those mostly on the bazaar sabbatical poltical and administrative appointment, the situation may improve for the citizens and their trainees but as at now, everything is bollocks to you. It is Nigerians that will fight to have our health care restored to how it was before, it may take a while but it will happen someday seeing how our public healthcare system has been down since then. We will be alright las las. God bless Nigeria. Good night. |

Zoe99:Wrong madam. Not any Doctor Madam. A Cardiologist doesn't perform surgery, A Neurologist doesn't perform surgery but some procedures so stop saying wrong things. You are going for an Hernia operation and you're expecting a General Practicioner to do surgery for you? A paediatrician doesn't perform Surgery but a Paediatric Surgeon. A Pathologist doesn't perform Surgery. A General Practicioner doesn't have any right whatsoever to tear you up but do minor surgeries but this is Nigeria; 1 Like |

Nairaland, as usual...i have had a few laughs reading a few comments from people who are not health workers but claim to understand the healthcare system both within Nigeria and around the world and in turn misleading a lot of people which is quite sad. Please let us take some time to do our own research with information freely available on the internet before making statements that are clearly incorrect. Unfortunately, most people in Nigeria and indeed nairaland, cannot afford excellent private healthcare in Nigeria or even travel abroad for treatment but wont condemn the government for any actions that could further promote emigration of health workers to countries that are ready to grab them (better pay, safe and better working conditions). Some people have already claimed we have enough to dash other countries, time will tel if this is true or not. We have all forgotten that in the end when there are no doctors, nurses, physiotherapists or pharmacists left, the rich ones will travel abroad for treatment while the poor will have no alternatives. |

Also, i guess you have siblings, or children. Make them to do the same, donate the first 80 years of their life to study medicine, and also practice without pay in Kotangora!!! |
