No person should bother to study medicine or dentistry in Nigeria with such a bill being contemplated.
The bill should be rejected from start to finish.
The bill is discriminatory against newly qualified doctors and dentists.
The bill encourages slavery in the employment of doctors and dentists.

Then go to UK,US and Saudi to study Medicine and leave the space for those who are ready to work for the Country , Simple

tamdun:
They should go and sch in UK/US then,majority of the medical students can't afford to sch abroad,fed govt is subsidising education for them for the betterment of NIG citizens not UK/US/Saudi

CAN WE ALSO HAVE A BILL THAT STOPS ALL SERVING POLITICIANS FROM GOING ABROAD FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT?

They destroyed Nigeria and are stealing it dry, but want health workers to stay back and work in an environment where life is... so devilish lawmakers.

Simply pay doctors more, subsidize equipment costs, provide adequate funding for medical research and watch the brain drain quickly erode. Why do we love doing things backwards in this country?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the biggest enemies of Nigeria are the crooks that make up the senate and House of Reps., these f*ckers have proposed and written laws that keeps us stuck in the stone age......SMH!

Georgejeez:

One by one , we will catch them but for now we dealing with Doctors

Or yea, after the 5 years they won’t leave yea? What about correcting why they’re leaving? The people passing the laws, do they get their healthcare in Nigeria? If only the average people of Nigeria were reasonable but they’re clearly not.

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), 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.

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

Now this is what will happen, 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

The hospitals in Nigeria aren't equipped ;Yes. So also the airports, seaports, the roads are bad etc but if the country manages to train you to become a doctor it behoves on you to manage to practice there.

DesChyko:
The Nigerian Medical Students' Association @NiMSA_Nigeria strongly opposes the recently proposed bill to mandate Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners to practice in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full license to practice.

This bill, sponsored by Rep. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson is unpatriotic, ill-timed and a breach of the fundamental human right of doctors as enshrined in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria as amended.

This bill is aimed at strangulating the medical profession and making mockery of her autonomy.

The reason given by Rep. Johnson for sponsoring this bill will end up achieving the direct opposite as the bill seeks to enslave Nigerian trained doctors and paralyze the health care system. The search for greener pastures abroad can be reduced by making our land and pasture green, properly equipping our hospitals, better treatment for doctors and the brain drain will be adequately controlled. Rep. Johnson at this point should be steering conversations on medical tourism and not doctor slavery.

We firmly believe that this bill is not the solution to the problem of brain drain, and we stand against it in its entirety in the strongest possible terms.

The intention behind the sponsorship of this bill does not take into consideration the root causes of brain drain in Nigeria. The issue of brain drain is multifaceted and requires a more comprehensive approach to tackle it.

Instead of trying to forcefully take doctors as slaves, the lawmakers should be focusing on creating an enabling environment that encourages doctors to stay and work in Nigeria. The lack of infrastructure, inadequate and inappropriate remuneration, and poor working conditions are some of the major factors driving medical professionals away from Nigeria. These issues need to be addressed if we want to attract and retain our healthcare professionals; make our land green.

We also believe that the bill is a violation of the fundamental human rights of medical professionals and should not see the light of the day. The government has no right to force doctors to work in a particular location against their will- it is an affront to their autonomy and choice. We also unequivocally state that this bill will discourage students from pursuing medical education in Nigeria, which will further exacerbate the problem of the shortage of healthcare professionals.

A better way to bring up the issue of being trained with “tax payer subsidies” would be to have it optional, the option of paying for medical education at the real cost value, the option of obtaining student loans and also the option of going for the subsidized medical education with the caveat of staying behind for a certain number of years to “pay back”. Besides, not all Doctors in the country are trained on subsidy; one thing the bill failed to capture. Doctors need to have a choice, even before they start their training so they can make better informed decisions.

Additionally, we strongly believe that the bill is arbitrary in nature and totally unconstitutional- it deprives the Nigerian-trained medical and dental practitioners of their fundamental right to freedom of movement by arbitrarily imposing restrictions on their movements against the provision of Section 41 the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In conclusion, @NiMSA_Nigeria vehemently opposes this bill in part and in one whole. We call on the sponsor of the bill to withdraw it with immediate effect and seek better ways of finding a lasting solution to the problem of brain drain by consultative collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the health sector coupled with the government's willingness to address the root causes and underlying issues that drive healthcare professionals away from Nigeria.

The Nigerian medical students’ association, is eager for a better health system hence, our willingness to work with the government, as we have always done, to find lasting solutions to the issues plaguing the healthcare system.

The health sector is essential to the growth and development of our nation, and we must take steps to ensure that our healthcare professionals stay and contribute to the growth of our country.

We say *NO* to this bill,
Rather, make our land and pasture green.

Ejim Egba,
NiMSA President

I am a senior doctor in the U.K. myself and I know there are several routes to leave even with provisional licence. They can write exams and apply for foundation training. The government is aware of how uninformed our people are and like to keep them occupied with things like this. It is the one jubilating that is making me laugh the most.

Nigeria that don't have Hospitals to treat kidney infection which is suddenly pandemic, no equipment that even pregnant women still die in hospitals. Instead of them to pass a bill to reform the health sector they do the opposite, they would rather reform their large salaries and allowances. Nigeria and APC government is a joke. So instead to treat the root cause of the problems, they want to force medical doctors five years. Wait is it the same medical doctors that can't find jobs in Nigeria or is there something new going on? The same doctor's that are paid peanut even when they rush out midnight for emergencies. I like what is happening, when we told they to remove APC they claimed LP is a tribe party. By the time APC finishes with you people, you will understand it's not about tribes again, but vote someone who has your interest at hand

You can say that again! I said the same thing in my comments on this thread about them being threatened about their fat allowances which is why they came up with band-aid solutions for deep cuts!
