Those of us that are not, will write JAMB and choose to be the real doctor, not impostors.

lordkush:
nigeria is indeed a shithole

so because the minister of health is a doctor,

minister of state a doctor

Even minister of labour is a doctor

all the cmd in federal and general hospitals are doctors


wher 're the nurses, med scientists, pharmacists, microbiologists, chemists, these 're all professionals. they attended universities
just like the doctors.


as it stands now. a house officer the lowest cadre of doctors earn 180k. I have seen the pay slip of a friend that works in irrua specialist teaching hospital.

I'm neither a doc or a pharmacist or a nurse
but the disparity and cheating is too much mhen.


let's call a spade a spade.

Jehovah and Allah are not the same Entity. That is the truth and that is what he is portraying. I already knew this fact after much research. Do not be fooled. Do a simple YouTube or Google search and you will be shocked instead of insulting someone who is right.

And do not respond to me without doing research on your internet device. Records from ancient times show that Jehovah and Allah are different entities. Just as Satan and Lucifer are different entities.

You are correct for the pay during internship and housejob, lemme now breakdown the salary scale at the point of entry post NYSC for you, A physiotherapist earn 151000(25000 is the call allowance) a fresh doctor start with 249000(I knt say specifically wat d call allowance is) but all oda allowances are equal such as hazard and teaching as d case may be, d dff in dt salary scale is 64%, wat johesu want is 20% increament so awa salary can be 191000 wc is still 32% lesser dn a doctors own, and they keep shouting we want equal pay...
Now base on the present salary scale for a physiotherapist, pharmacist or lzab scientist to earn dt 249000 of a fresh doctor you mst use atleast 10years in civil service, all wat johesu want is jst 20% of salary across CONHESS salary scale dtz all and NMA kip shouting equality. The issue of skipping is still there for doctors to enjoy and no Phyio, pharmacist is allow to reach the post of a Director in there own field till dey retire wat we get to is Deputy or Assistant Director.
Another issue is d issue of professional autonomy and specialty, I will leave dz 4 now....

olutop:
Stop saying wat you dnt know, I am a physiotherapist work in UBTH, my superiors that have used 10years is not receiving wat a fresh doctor is receiving....10years afta service o
jst to breach it and make the dff to be 34% frm 64% dff u guys no gree.....u guys are jst greedy

I told my MBBS colleague of mine some days ago that if not for people like him I would think reading MBBS in Nigeria makes one myopic and stupid that you can't even use google to get information. We are both HSE professionals. We discussed at length objectively pointing out the issues, JOHESU has its blame no doubt about that but NMA as the head of the health sector has really bastardized the health sector. From the ministers of health to commissioners of health, CMDs, MDs, boards of health institutions etc. are all doctors yet our hospitals keep deteriorating only for NMA to turn and blame JEHOSU instead of holding their colleagues (who are leaders of the sector) accountable.

Whenever I hear NMA saying 'international best practice' I wonder whether they have their own definition of the phrase. Because in developed world like UK, US, and Canada hospitals are headed by administrators who can be anybody with requisite administrative skills, the doctors and other health workers concentrate on offering clinical services as a team with mutual respect for one another. The USA surgeon general for instance, is a nurse, NMA cannot allow this happen in Nigeria yet still quote international best practices. The head of WHO is a biologist from Ethiopia.
The consultant cadre issue, according to NMA would confuse the patient, as if Nigeria or JOHESU invented it; this is obtainable in the UK, US, and Canada that are ranked among the top 10 ..so which one is NMA's international best practices?
NMA also does not allow any non-medical doctor to do MPH in Nigeria, only doctors are qualified to do it; a program that any science graduate can do even at Harvard and the likes. This is pathetic. You cannot continue to suppress and oppress someone and expect him/her not to react at some point.
It is the right of every civil servant to rise to the peak of his or her career (which is director) but NMA oppressed other health workers for many years saying that if others get to the director level, it will confuse the patient. I dont know how! JOHESU had to go to court to get judgement some few years ago.
I can go on and on and on ......
The crisis in the health sector is as a result of failure of our leaders aided by the NMA who has refused to carry the others along as the head of the team. Just recently the Canadian medical association rejected their pay increase insisting that the govt must increase that of allied health workers first. The opposite is d case in Nigeria.

IF WHAT JOHESU IS FIGHTING FOR IS EQUITY NOT EQUALITY WHAT'S D BIG DEAL, IF IT WILL TAKE A PHARMACIST, LAB SCIENTISTS, RADIOLOGIST ETC 12 YRS TO EARN WHAT A FRESH DOCTOR START WITH, Ngige TOLD THEM ALL IS SET 4 IMPLEMENTATION BUT MIN OF HEALTH IS BLOCKING IT, Bleep D DOCS

please give me the link to download this stuff. is this the yayale they've been talking about

skabber2:
Ingrate brothers? You see, thats the problem we are talking about. So Pharmacists should be grateful to doctors for allowing them to earn wages? You guys are pathetic. it wont always remain this way, that i know.

Qasaforlife:
Am a female. I think they just want the government to increase their salary because of the high cost of living at least a top up .

Qasaforlife:
you know the Truth about the situation on ground but you want to join your colleagues in fighting an unjust war. That is the problem in Nigeria. Seeing the truth but difficult to voice it out because of victimization. Am not in the health sector but I have followed this problem and Nma has had an upgrade in their salary 3times in one year,,why can't others have theirs no matter how little

mrtegation99:
Keep Quiet Blinded slowpoke! Get the facts right. We aren't seeking equivalence but a fair increase in salary and welfare as we also have direct contact with patients. I'm speaking on behalf of Nurses. We're so underrated in Nigeria. That's why Nigeria is losing its best nurses to UK, US, Canada and Australia

tabaski:
LIES. Those involved in the accident are cleaners @ ABUTH and not JOHESU members. NMA with their over-bloated ego. JOHESU never asked for pay parity with Doctors but appreciable increase in their pay as agreed by FG earlier. OP get fact before posting

stonemasonn:
a registered nurse of over 20 years experience who is a specialist in say oncology should earn much more than a fresh medical graduate.

Moreover before government sign any agreement with JOHESU, government should include licenses and examinations every two years for all JOHESU members. No exam no license, no license no job and no salary review.
