Don't worry

The bill is dead on arrival

There is a temporary provisional license with which you use to practice for 2yrs and do your housemanship before it expires after graduation. That license Is just to show ppl that you have the right to touch patients for a time period after graduation during which you must have complete your housemanship. Maybe that license will now be increased to 5yrs due to the bill but that will now make the stress to hurriedly look for housemanship slots easy, and make the graduates focus on getting UK qualifications first.. It is that graduation letter with IELTS and not the provisional license(or the permanent license gotten after housemanship), that is needed to be submitted to examining body in the UK to start the process of writing their exams. And once you pass the exams you must register under GMC within 2yrs with evidence of housemanship. The graduation certificate, your one year housemanship evidence(which you can now do after passing plab2), grin your IELTS and the pass of the two exams that are the Koko requirement to prove that indeed you are a doctor that can practice in UK unsupervised. grin grin grin grin

You only need evidence of your Naija full license or provisional license when you are applying for visa.

Now this is what will be happening, Alot of Nigerian doctors will make it a duty and goal to leave before that 5yrs expiration just to show the legislators that they can keep their permanent license cheesy cheesy cheesy

At last. It came late since I wrote to recommend that this law be passed for years now but it is still better late than never. Cuba has it and it worked for govt-trained doctors.

Their unregulated exit here in our country has almost crashed the system yet they go overseas to be enslaved.

Nigeria lose, they lose, their parents lose, the taxpayers whose tax was used to train them lose.It is not sustainable at all.
The law should be accelerated!

As long as they are doctors or doctors in the making, they wil always nurture the mentality to jakpa and earn what is their due. Especially because so many of their seniors are already on the other side grin

Fantastic piece of legislation.
Unfortunately it will not pass because Nigerians worship at the altar of migration by all means necessary.
Unfortunately this is one of the only steps that can stem the tide of the decay in our heediconealth are sector.
For me,step one would be to introduce student loans and then jack up the cost of studying a course like medicine.
If you really want to study medicine you will pay like 3-5M per year. If your folks don't have money,Access or GTB will loan you the money which can be written off as you earn points post house job.

If it's true that medical training in Nigeria is hugely subsidised by the government, then I think it's the right bill... You can't be enjoying the subsidised education, then when it's time to work for those that paid, you decide to "run away"

What if it was made expensive and loans granted to them like in the developed countries, how many of them would have been able to afford it? Those against the bill definitely don't mean well

i that case most people will not do medicine in a public university, I would rather look for 5 to 7m and put him a private university to study then he does those foreign exams and starts practice, within a year or 2 at most ,he will have made back the money i used to train him. instead of being enslaved for 5 yrs
Re: Bill To Prevent Medical Doctors From Getting Licence Till After 5 Years by kushe: 3:50pm On Apr 07, 2023
The money so earned will be used to upgrade teaching facilities in each medical school as well as the hostels that look like Kirikiri on some occasions.

My doctor friend left Nigeria to Saudi Arabia within 3 months he wants to buy land in Lagos.
He works only 4-8 hours a day. But why he was here in Lagos, the nigga be like gala seller for hold up, too much work wan kill am with an inconsistent low salary. I pray this bill stand, mark my word people will stop studying medicine in Nigeria. Better shortage go enter the ratio will be 1 doctor to 20k patient. By then the same useless federal government will be begging Benin republic to send us doctors.

For those claiming 'federal government subsidised training' and things like that. It's not true. Higher education in Nigeria is designed as such. You can't compare how much it takes to study Mass Communication in Nigeria with the same abroad. Education is -supposedly- subsidized for everyone going to a government university.

There is no enough number of doctors in Nigeria to begin with. Our schools are not training enough because they lack the capacity to do so. Even UI doesn't have accreditation to admit up to 250 students for medicine in a year. Nigerian medical schools barely churn out a few hundred doctors yearly. So the brain drain isn't simply because they are leaving, the brains are not even there in the first place.

Again, doctors are not the only ones emigrating. For every doctor, five nurses have gone. For every healthcare worker, ten non medical have gone. Shouldn't we be worried about our tech guys leaving? What about infrastructure when the engineers have finished leaving? What about our trained teachers? Or the thousands of agricultural graduates who could potentially help deal with our food supply deficits.

Furthermore, why are people leaving at all. No bill can stop people from getting out. Eventually, they will abadon medicine and go do whatever in the abroad if that's what they think is necessary for their survival. Even senior doctors are leaving same as senior executive staffs of various companies. So it's about the country being a mess and people looking out for their best interests, nothing ignoble about that.

This bill is repressive. It should not be defended under any guise. Sadly, medicine is one of the toughest places to work these days. This is an unnecessary distraction and heating up of the policy.

It will be a great shame and hypocrisy for Buhari or Tinubu, who already have their beds in Western hospitals and run there even for minor medical problems, to sign this bill into law.

I support this bill with my full chest .
To whom much is given , much is expected , it's Medical fraud for you to study Medicine on tax payers money for 7 to 8 years , then when it's time to return the favour , you run away to abroad and also rub it on the faces of the upcoming ones to also toe the same line .

If you know and you know that you know that the bill is against your freedom of choice and tantamount to slavery etc , then don't bother to study Medicine in our Public Universities . Better go and study Bio Chem or SLT , if you must study Med , then go to Ghana and other African countries to do that .

But if you want to study Medicine here , you must do that 5 years after your graduation or else declared wanted if you japa before the expiration of 5 years ..

Nonsense and Doctors, selfish and self centered lots , enemies of the State.


Sometimes, i wonder where cretaures like you emerge from!

Who told you doctors are trained with taxpayers money in Nigeria, for God's sake

Did you ever pass through a University in Nigeria?

If so, did you ever pay school fees and other dues from your 1st to the final year?

Again, if so, did you get all those money from the government?

Now, do you know that medical students spend far more that whatever amounts you spent during your own schooling?

Do you know that many of us whose parents are/were average had those parents borrowed and/or sold valuable properties to be able to afford their training fees?

May God never give any country more than one of such creatures that reason like you.
More than one of you in any country would be a disaster.

The Bill is titled, “A Bill for an Act to amend the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act, Cap M379, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 to mandate any Nigerian-trained medical and dental practitioner to practice in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full license by the Council in order to make quality health services available to Nigeria; and for related matters (HB.2130)”.

There is nothing about preventing them from leaving the country grin

Why not a bill to regulate politicians recourse abroad for treatment. Before any politician is recommended for treatment abroad there must be a proof that such ailment CANNOT be treated or managed in Nigeria.

Also, a bill to regulate politicians' acquisition of foreign education for their children should state that ONLY courses not done in Nigerian universities should be sought abroad by their children grin

ImadeUReadThis:


The plan by Jewish corporations who own all the hospitals in the US is to import cheap and easily manipulated 3rd world medical professionals whose immigration status is tied to their job.

These third world medical professionals cost less, and are easily bullied to go against medical ethics towards pushing Jewish pharmaceutical interests like we saw during covid were most of the doctors sanctioned were not from the pool of third world countries but from the west .Any third world doctor that dared to go against their protocol will be sacked and deported asap if not arraigned in a court on medical felony charges and risk serious jail time.
Most white and western professionals have gone into private practice during covid for refusal to abide by Jew Pharma dictates. Some even got the FDA on their ass for prescribing Iverctimin to treat covid and had to go to court to protect their license and practice.

We also read here sometime ago on Nigerian medical professionals protesting the disparity in pay between them and their western counterparts in the UK.

The Jew has so much polluted medical science and reduced the position of a medical doctor to a drug dealer for their pharmaceutical companies.

A Nigerian doctor escaping poverty in Nigeria will have no qualms obeying his Jewish masters even if goes contrary to his own professional and moral etiquette.

This is why the immigration policy lobbied by the Jew pharma in the west is being guided to have third world doctors replace white and western educated doctors.

Already doctors in the west are seeing a massive decline in their take home owing to a flooding of cheap third world doctors who will not question the Jew and accept whatever he throws at them.

It pays no one to see our doctors go.

A good govt should look at not only improving pay for doctors but also the state of the hospitals .

Also an emphasis on medical morals should be pushed so our brand of doctors will no longer sacrifice their profession and conscience for money.

How about raising a bill that stipulate that no government officials/workers and their Family should go abroad for any medical treatment throughout their terms. Let's start with that and any other thing can be accepted in this country.....

...and let the law makers also pass a bill that will stop politicians and our leaders from going to abroad for medical treatment...let them do the medical treatment in nigeria
