Opportunities for people to display their contributions for growth and development will occur.
States will also get to a point where development will be there

We pray so

Pakistanis are also lamenting. Their country is as bad as Nigeria.

55 countries facing serious health worker shortages – WHO

The World Health Organisation has said that no less than 55 countries are struggling with serious health worker shortages as they continue to seek better-paid opportunities in wealthier nations.

They continue to seek better-paid opportunities in wealthier nations that have stepped up efforts to recruit them amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to WHO, African nations have been worst hit by the phenomenon, with 37 countries on the continent facing health worker shortages.

“Health workers shortage have threatened their chances of achieving universal health care by 2030 – a key Sustainable Development Goals pledge.’’

The actions of wealthy countries that belong to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development come under scrutiny in the WHO alert, among other regions.

“Within Africa, it’s a very vibrant economy that is creating new opportunities,” Dr Jim Campbell, the Director responsible for health worker policy at WHO, said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The Gulf States have traditionally been reliant on international personnel and then some of the OECD high-income countries have really accelerated their recruitment and employment to respond to the pandemic and respond to the loss of lives, the infections, the absences of workers during the pandemic”.


To help countries protect their vulnerable healthcare systems, WHO has issued an updated health workforce support and safeguards list, which highlights nations with low numbers of qualified healthcare staff.

“These countries require priority support for health workforce development and health system strengthening, along with additional safeguards that limit active international recruitment,” the WHO insisted.

Supporting the call for universal healthcare for all countries in line with the SDGs, WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, called on all countries to respect the provisions in the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list.

“Health workers are the backbone of every health system, and yet 55 countries with some of the world’s most fragile health systems, do not have enough and many are losing their health workers to international migration,” he added.

Although many countries do respect existing WHO guidelines on the recruitment of health care workers, the principle is not accepted wholesale, WHO warned.

“What we are seeing is that the majority of countries are respecting those provisions by not actively recruiting from these (vulnerable) countries,” Campbell said.

“But there is also a private recruitment market that does exist and we’re looking to them to also reach some of the global standards that are anticipated in terms of their practice and behaviour.”


Mechanisms also exist for governments or other individuals to notify WHO if they are “worried” about the behaviour of recruiters, the WHO official said.

The WHO health workforce support and safeguard list does not prohibit international recruitment but recommends that governments involved in such programmes are informed about the impact on the health system in countries where they source qualified health professionals.

Ashirioluwa:
Yes, Nigeria is a country.

It would be an understatement to say that this country has bad leaders or ineffective government officials, but I think we need to concentrate more on our youth. Our youth are worse than those who are ruling, running, or ruining our country. 

We need to check ourselves and stop blaming the government for everything that has happened or is happening to us. Have a look at what's happening in the UAE. With our greed and bad habits, we spoil the opportunity for those who want to travel to that place to earn a living. A large percentage of our youths are involved in cults, prostitution, robberies, and fraud in that country.

Even though I do not believe that our nation is ideal, if our youth are given the same opportunity as our leaders, then you will know that we are worse than the corrupt leaders who are ruining our country.

I support

Is Nigeria a country?
Nigeria is a company.
Founded by the Brits in West Africa.
Handed over to be managed by a set of very greedy managers know otherwise as politicians.

I think the problem is us not the leaders. How will a sane person travel abroad and still continue cultism?

Hmm

Oman announces visa-free entry for over 100 countries

The move is aimed at encouraging more tourists to visit Oman, which is known for its natural beauty, rich history, and unique culture

Oman has recently announced that it is offering visa-free entry for up to 14 days to tourists from over 100 countries.

The move is aimed at encouraging more tourists to visit Oman, which is known for its natural beauty, rich history, and unique culture.

The Royal Oman Police (ROP) has published a list of countries whose citizens are eligible for this new policy.

Countries include Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Georgia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Belgium, Romania, Slovenia, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Cyprus, Ukraine, Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Poland, Slovakia, France, Netherlands, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Thailand, South Africa, Russia, China, the United States of America, Turkey, South Korea, New Zealand, Iran, Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Moreover, Indian tourists can obtain a visa on arrival if they possess an entry visa from the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Schengen countries, Japan, or have a resident permit from one of the GCC countries and work in an approved profession as specified by the Oman government.

The country has been making efforts to develop its tourism industry in recent years, with the aim of diversifying its economy and reducing its reliance on oil revenues.

In addition to visa-free entry and visa-on-arrival options, Oman has also been working on improving its infrastructure and developing new tourism attractions, such as luxury resorts, museums, and heritage sites.

These efforts have been recognised by various international organisations, which have ranked Oman as one of the top travel destinations in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Oman visa-free entryOman has been working on improving its infrastructure and developing new tourism attractions, such as luxury resorts, museums, and heritage sites
As per an ROP official, tourists from 103 countries now have the option to extend their visa-free stay in Oman for more than 14 days, with a fee applicable for the extension.

After the specified period, travellers from these countries must apply online for an e-visa for a fee of OMR20 for a period of one month.

They can also apply for a multi-entry visa for one year, provided that their stay on each visit is not more than a month and that certain conditions are met.

This decision was made to support the tourism industry in Oman, and it has had a significant impact on the industry’s growth, with the country seeing a 348 percent increase in tourists in 2022 compared to 2021.

The revenue of 3-5-star hotels in Oman has also seen a rise of 50.8 percent at the end of January 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, standing at OMR20.79 million.

The occupancy rate has also increased by 31.3 percent, reaching 53.7 percent compared to 40.9 percent during the same period in 2022, while the number of 3-5-star hotels’ guests stood at 173,313, an increase of 65 percent compared to the same period in 2022.

Oman has also seen an increase in domestic tourism, with an increase in festive events across the governorates co-hosted by Omran and the governorate offices.

The BRICs nations are moving away from dollar dominance.

grandstar:

Emir01:
Makinde demolished a very old historic mosque to build a motor park then rebuilt it in another location and renamed ii after himself, that's wrong because the mosque is historic mosque. I don't know why some people are making noise. Makinde doesn't have issue with Muslims. Is our son and brother. Ride on Seyi.

What's your point?
