Although Nigeria is among the less than 2% countries of the world that pays for medical housemanship....but then..it should have been a form of encouragement for these young scientists..knowing the hardship n workload they endure daily... It's a wrong turn.

this is a lie..

eyinjuege:
I think they may still be forced to do calls though.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
They suffer house officers a lot. Too much infact .

Housejob is traumatizing, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Volkswagen90:
hi Doctor, pls i want to ask a personal question, my penis use to get erected like everyday nowadays, i don't know why.

please go a hospital and see a urologist for that issue.

omoadeleye:
So they won't practice medicine again because of stoppage of payment for interns and nysc doctors(trainee)?

They should not jare, unless they have a guaranteed plan to leave the country after medical school.

are nigerians worth 9+x years of sleepless nights?

Nope.

Hassanmaye:
For your information we have many jobless engineering students in Nigeria please do your research

fine, let them do yahoo yahoo, kidnapping and banditry then


It is better than doing that slavery called housejob without getting paid.

Spidermon:
Are medical interns authorized to do surgery?

From the little I have seen of public health care in Nigerian hospitals, the quality is too poor.

The workers maybe doing their best in spite of the system but when it boils down, the services are shit.

If it gets worse that this, people will prefer to just die at home

yes, the minimum requirement to do surgery is the MBBS certificate which the medical interns have.

It is one thing to be certified, but another thing to have the experience necessary.

olatunji390:
Pls, seek for opportunities in other field, I just advice cousin of mine to do nursing since there is plan on ground for her to travel out after school. Study medicine in Nigeria is no longer encourage, my brother was just inducted on Thursday. He really try

o told my cousin and my aunt the same thing too.

When i told her UNILAG's cutoff for medicine was 83%

AfroKnight:
Doctor you are threatening people o. Please, Be calming down.

sebi you guys are supporting government propaganda.

In the end the masses suffer.

Unseriousboy:
@Dr FunmisticGlow I'm about to retake jamb this year applying to medicine, though I'm a part 3 student in one federal school in the southwest... some folks of mine(even med student) discouraged from pursuing medicine considering the state of Nigeria's health system...I have a deep interest in tech(coding),they say I should pursue that instead

Let's say I was your younger brother,what advice would you give me?

forget medicine. It's not worth the risk.

Elonmuskfan:
they were hitherto paid about 130k for intern pharmacists which I am aware of. I don’t know what civil service grade level that is. But this new development which states that they are still under learning and do not merit to be enlisted into the civil service wage scale, means the earlier salary will be abolished and tokens be giving to them on monthly basis since what they are doing is part of learning. In that case doctors and pharmacists and their likes will only attract good pay after completing their nysc and have become fully fledged health practitioners, no more handsome pays during interns or housemanships

after medical school. You are already a fully fledged health professional

seunmsg:
The headline is false. There is nothing in the circular that says interns won’t be paid again. The circular clearly stated that salaries and wages commission will determine their allowances.

you think the government will pay them for calls?

Look at NYSC!!

viyon02:
Nice one, hope it is affordable by all unlike the one privatize by FG.

of course not.

Since when is cancer care affordable in this country

supportnija:
Op some of you are funny, the only doctor who leaves Nigeria are the one who could not get Job, OP after tax their take home is not better than those in Nigeria..Some of resident take home is not less than N800000 excluding allowance

this has nothing to do with residents

These are interns and house officers who deal with your sick ass first before a resident will grace you with his presence.

Don't deceive yourself.

All you said, its a lie.

obanimoje:
i'm in total support of this.

Because you don't know the implications.

This is how you know people who don't have medical relatives in thier family

Viknat:
Buhari has finally killed nigeria. So saaaaaad. While I was thinking they should increase their allowances. These guys in my area dey work morning to midnight. I hope they reverse it quickly/immediately

During my internship, I worked 96 hour calls (4 days straight without sleep) Doing slave work in the name of caring for patients, being called at ridiculous hours because of an emergency.

I pulled through it with some kind of joy because i knew that at the end of the month, I would see that alert that i would use to take care of that and my family.

I bought my present laptop with that intern money. Put myself through NYSC when the money was almost non existent and was told to work a week straight for those bloody soldiers(i later told their CMD(a colonel) to give me a call allowance or Bleep himself) with that housejob money.

And Now, government wants to take that away from the future generations.

Imagine being treated in the hospital by someone without that insurance, without that reason to keep on going? You will be treated by people telling you to go and Bleep yourself.

booscy:
Story for the God's

it's okay.

You will all get sick enough one day to land in the hands of an unpaid intern.

booscy:
Abeg shift.

Nigerians have been surviving by mixing drugs from CHEMIST shops or drinking AGBO concoctions.

DO WE HAVE A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM?

Taa make we hear word.
Many HAVE DIED PREMATURELY via the carelessness and trial and error experimental by these people ABEG!!!!

Yet their services are not affordable.

what about the many more who have been saved.

If your saviors are not paid.

A lot of them will be forced to do other things to earn a living, for example, charge you extra for their services as a side deal.

It will start to happen.

booscy:
Dem don too chop abeg.

Why are they complaining?

Other fresh graduates wey no see shishi nko?
For NYSC that year Dem go dey oppress fellow corps members.

Even me wey dey comment ITF still dey owe me my fifteen thousand naira Industrial training stipend since 2008.

okay. By the time you land in the hands of a quack and dangle between heaven and earth.

It will become very clear.

By the time an unpaid intern walks out on a sick person mid surgery because of other more important things than an unpaid job, your eye will clear.

nrexzy:
Oh that's very risky shaaaa... But that applies go govt hospitals alone
Cos I'm sure the private sectors takes care of their own..

they don't,

They're worse off.

A lot of the nigerian masses are about to land in the hands of quacks.

nrexzy:
So wetin b d implications

Simple, interns do the bulk of the work in teaching hospitals. They do the stuff no one else wants to do. If they are not paid. Well.
The first person who sees rhe the sick person in a hospital is no longer being paid.

He or she is free to do anyhow with your body and say he/she is still a student

Afterall, they will work for free.

They should not do calls either. So if you are sick at night, Gobe!!

well then.
It seems that going to medical school is no longer worth the risk..

Everybody will now want to be an engineer.

Hopefully this means they will no longer be used as houseboys and girls in teaching hospitals.

They will no longer do calls especially those 96hr straight calls.

This is all shades of bleeped up.

Dear prospsective jambites. Medicine is no longer worth its high cutoff mark. Go and do engineering and IT.

Housemanship is not studentship. How dumb are these elites?

dokgen:
The people wey don too chop, wey you dey hate are the ones supporting the fragile health of your country from breaking down in shambles. If you think say e easy, run am go do medicine.



The quality of healthcare will decline steadily, because, nobody will do slave work for free, and the basic job of taking history and bedside assessment will suffer. Laboratory result collection and specimens submission too will suffer massively. Do you know the huge role NYSC doctors, cover, when you discourage them, with no salary, who will fill that vaccuum?


NO worry, when you get diarrhea, and nurse tell you say make you extract your own blood yourself, na when you go understand as e dey go. You should weep for the nigerian populace. There will be massice depopulatio and brain drain. prett soon.

actually i expect to see less people putting medical courses in thier jamb forms. Not a lot of people are ready to slave for free for 9+x years

FG is like Kitana in Mortal Kombat, heartlessly slashing peoples salary.

In a shock move that has left the medical community in Nigeria dazed, there is a report that the federal government o f Nigeria through the National Council of National Establishment ( NCE) has stopped the salaries of medical house officers, dental officers, nurse interns , pharmacist interns , medical laboratory science interns and NYSC doctors. This means, the salaries of all health interns in Nigeria health institutions including that of house job have been removed from the payroll of the federal civil service. In case you still don’t understand this piece of information, the federal government is saying house-manship ( a paid mandatory one year service for fresh medical graduates ) is now part of the continued training for doctors and other interns and therefore, they are no longer under any obligation to pay them salaries.

Before now, a house officer is on consolidated medical salary scale (CONMESS) . With this decision, the federal government have removed house officers from the salary scale saying they will no longer pay HOs.

This information is contained in document dated 12th of April 2021 and released by the National council of Establishment ( NCE is the highest decision making body in the civil service and duly signed by the head of civil service Dr, Folashade Yemi-Esan. Who surprisingly and disappointingly a dental doctor without conscience to protect the interest of freshly graduated , hardworking doctors. She supposedly graduated as the best graduating student in University of Ibadan in 1987.

Now, the government is assaying house-manship and other health internships is a form of “ studentship” and not supposed to be a paid job.
Now that the FG has banned house officers from earning salaries, what does the future hold for young medical graduates and also interns of other health professionals.?

Saw you onces and i don't find you attractive not even 10%, but i don't expect you not to be another man's food. thats just life.

BeautyO:
I'm not sure if other Ladies feel the same but i detest a man who thinks showing off money is the only way to get a woman's attention..

This particular man is a Nairalander who specializes is creating contentious posts about women , hes always in the habit of painting women bad , I actually thought he was one of the Team Redpilllars but his Private messages to me proved otherwise .

He is the definition of pathetic to say the least and I hope he sees this and get the message that I'm not interested in his friendship , but since he acts like he got enough cash to throw around I'll be keeping the 50k..

sis!!!
It's better to return the money, and expose him with evidence.

All this brouhaha over a short guy.

Ladies have suffered.

Two of them should RIP. May they find bliss in the afterlife, if there's any.
