I'm asking you now
Do you have enough intellectual and mental capacity to study medicine?
Far more than medicine son. Don't let the fact that we're commenting together on a faceless forum make u disrespect who you ain't supposed to.

I pity those who are hell bent on running this country to the ground.

As a medical personnel the health system is running aground. Many consultants have vowed to leave the country if the wrong candidate wins.

Recently many teaching hospitals have been calling for doctors to come and take up jobs but no one is even available.

I have seen many people die of resolvable issues because there was no specialist within that vicinity to proper help.

Keep supporting the wrong candidates when you know the right thing to do.

You know Peter Obi is the best chance we have at redeeming the country.

Soon when someone has an ordinary stroke, there wouldn't be even an experienced hand to solve it. You think it is about being paid. Very soon no good doctor will be on ground to help you even if you have all the money.

I rest my case

the most neglected sector in terms of infrastructure and maintenance. most hospitals are usually managed by federal government with high depleted ugly infrastructures. wonder how they carry out their research and administer treatment. most professionals wouldn't stay to work in nigeria if given experiences. medicine should be declared at a state of emergency.

Yes, folks don't know. This I think started when the banker ibru madam was sent to jail. She claimed health grounds will keep her in medical custody. Sharp sharp I hear she built the facility in luth as a place for the elites. That was where she spent her jail term. Others followed. There is one in lasuth Ikeja, allegedly owned by the landlord of Lagos.
Seems uch has one too.

I swear, he dey happen.
The underlying word is EARN. What they spend is not my business. But, yes, they regularly charge 2m and can have several procedures in a week.

The docs here have corroborated this. Why are you doubting me?

Let anyone who thinks 1m is an humungous amount keep screaming lies. When shove comes to push, the truth will be clear.

LUTH VIP wing is at par with other top options in Lagos.
The good thing is it comes with quicker access to ICU, if needed.

Do you want them to be unmotivated and forget Gauze pad in you after surgery?

All the doctors I know are well off and doing well. Private and public sector.
Engineers spend 5 to 6 years n still remain jobless

How much do u think an average plastic surgery costs oga?

The title of the thread is “How much do doctors earn in Nigeria?

If the question was ‘ How much do football players in England, France and Spain earn?

Would your answer be based on the salaries of Mbappe, Neymar jnr, Lewandoski, Grealish and Haaland?

If a plastic surgeon earns N5m at some private clinic in lagos, is that the average salary of a doctor treating malaria, typhoid at Zamfara, Warri or Ilorin teaching hospitals?

Globally doctors are upper-middle class.

Does it negate the fact that some doctors who are surgeons earn that amount?

How much do doctors earn according to the title of tje thread does not specify any group of doctors.

I responded to a question in the thread that revolves around surgeons

I am shocked that the majority of surgery in Nigeria is not above 300k.

You are getting the wrong Intel bro from people who don't know shit about nothing about medicals in Nigeria. I was billed 900k for avascular necrosis surgery as far back as 2014 in a public hospital in Lagos. Private hospitals were costing 4m for same procedure. Our dollar rate was still 160. Imagine the cost of same surgery now. Go to oncology, cardiology, renal, maxillofacial departments and be amazed at figures for certain procedures. Even in a government hospital.
People who aren't in the system can easily sit on their boxers and spit gutters. undecided
