Benwems:If you do no know then keep quiet There is nothing like House officer there. If she is not being paid find out the SPECIFIC circumstances e.g. is she a SUPERNUMERARY? That is not the case for interns generally. They ARE PAID and paid VERY WELL just Google Average medical intern salary USA 3 Likes |

omonnakoda:Go and attend to patients and been sad. Most Nigerian doctors only study medicine as an escape route from poverty or from pressure from their parents. That’s the reason you people hate working. If you want to compare yourself with doctors abroad then go abroad and study medicine if you can. Of course I will find out. 1 Like |

This present administration is a cancer that never should have happened to any nation. An illiterate at the helm of affairs is a potential danger or time bomb to any nation. Seems Naja is doomed and there is no redemption in sight 1 Like |

Benwems: Healthcare has beyond all these thinking u expressing... In advanced countries, nursing practioners see patients and run their clinic independently. Specialist nurses do routine surgical procedures like endoscopy. First contact physiotherapist now handle most non surgical orthopaedic cases. Gone are days of consultants or even doctors doing everything. Healthcare is now multidisciplinary oriented. Registrar doctors practically run the hospital. A medical registrar holds the night bleep in hospitals. He's the doctor running the show at night- emergencies, cardiac arrest, acute cases...name it. U have to be good and know your stuff to carry that bleep. Ive met a lot of nigerian medical registrars here in uk. So I dont know where u get that info that nigerian doctors in uk are not good. Besides, GP is a specialty on its own, and probably the most lucrative. U can easily pull over 150 thousands pounds in a yr if u hardworking. Its also the only specialty in uk where u can have your own practice. Maybe thats why nigerian doctors are rushing into the specialty. Your narrative is not only spurious but reeks of jealousy. I really don't understand what u have against doctors, but its unnecessary. In the 21st century, there are other professions more rewarding than doctors. Why not discover yours, rather wasting futile effort trying to bring down another noble profession. 11 Likes |

SIRTee15:Nursing practitioners are basically in the USA where they run their clinics and diagnose and treat. You seen to be the person jealous here because I clearly stated that Nigerian consultants in the UK studio to medicine (MBBS) in the UK. Find out and get your facts right. Nigerian doctors doing GP in UK are mostly the ones who get employed from Nigeria here through work agencies in the Uk. They are mostly or not always given GP and emergency and they sign contracts too. So get your facts right. And Hell NO, I’m not jealous of anybody. My dad is a medical doctor and two of my sisters are doctors. One in Nigeria the other in USA. I’m an engineer and I’m in the UK. I love engineering and it was my dream to always be an engineer. I justly speak the truth and state obvious facts. 1 Like |

omonnakoda: Kindly respect yourself and guide your tongue. Don’t insult my family. You can stay your mind without been rude. I have heard many older medical doctors say the younger ones are going into medicine because of salary and it’s the obvious fact. You’re the bitter person here because of background.

Brain drain will increase more than ever before.no point staying for a year or 2 or for NYSC before leaving Nigeria Boys will start preparing for plab and usmle earlier even it means washing dishes abroad.No point staying here and suffering in poverty.so parents will still be sending pocket money to house officer? Or the intern should be doing bussiness? The cretins who made this policy forgot the colleagues of the young medics in internship who did 4 year courses would have gone far by the time they are doing internships.yet you deprive them of their basic survival allowance 2 Likes |

waiting for 2023 before putting fire under these Hawks of leaders is just medicine after death. each of Buhari appointee understand the policy of the boss and they are on competition of outdoing each other on this satanic agenda. we need to get out of our comfort zones, forget our different sentiments and unite to take this country back. it may be medical interns today, resident doctors should be at alert as much as anyother professional. they are COMING for you, yes you! unless you start speaking up now!!!!!!

Re: FG Scraps Salary For Medical House Officers And Other Health Interns by Vaughanlanrewaj: 3:23pm On Apr 24, 2021 |
omonnakoda:No. The issue is that there's a systemic imbalance in the system and it has not always been so. If a Resident doctor earns more than a full fledge Dentist or Pharmacist, that is just one of the symptoms, the real disease is that the system is unbalanced and doesn't attract talents from other healthcare fields. When and where did the rain start beating us? Why is this problem so endemic in the healthcare sector only? You need to go down memory lane to understand but it appears you are not familiar with the background to the issue. Currently, the public health care system is not attracting great talents again and the problem is because of these imbalance that started from the late Prof Olikoye Ransome-Kuti era as minister. I ran into several documents warning the IBB administration then not to transfer the administration of the public health care system to just one professional group but the counsel went unheeded. The system is actually killing itself and the solution is to go back to how it was before Prof Olikoye Ransome-Kuti changed things.Give the administration of public healthcare to a professional chartered group that every health care professional can sit for its exam and get licence to be a chartered healthcare management professional. As we type here, there are more experienced medical doctors in political offices in and out of hospital than those in core medical duties inside the hospital because of the political offices they corner from ward to LGA to state and Federal Government level. In fact, I know one the FG sent overseas for a highly technical field in cancer and soon as he got back he is now a political office holder attending political meetings and treating files! We don't have enough doctors yet they are all over the place in political appointment, so who is at the receiving end? The citizens and the country. 3 Likes |

Whichever way you look at this, it is sad. Especially for the interns that are used to the salary. BTW: Google Average medical intern salary USA does not support your point, it undermined it. $54,000.00 is a low pay for any worker in the US not to mention doctors. This is why there are campaigns to work them less, long hours and low pay. But Nigerians immediately translate US salary to Nigeria. You cannot live a good life in US with 54,000.00. Back to Nigeria. Obviously the returns on training doctors has diminished since most of them abscond. They prefer towns and cities like other professionals where they can make more money. It is because of money that Nigerian doctors always compare themselves to US or U.K doctors, never to Scandinavian, Russian or Cuba doctors. Nigeria had tried to solve some of the problems by training more Community Health Officers in the School of Health Technology because their training is locally specific and they cannot run overseas. But the opposition and discrimination against them is fierce. Do you know students used to go on strike for quality of subsidized food until it was cancelled? Our politicians outrageous salary, one of the highest in the world is the pacesetter everyone emulates to justify higher salaries. 3 Likes |

phineas: Housemanship is a mandatory understudying a intern undergoes to become a doctor. It is never obligatory to pay an intern, since it's a training program. Payment of an intern is a prerogative of the hiring hospital. |

Benwems: U know nothing about about the healthcare system other than what jealous folks like yourself tell u. Nursing practitioners exist in uk and I've worked with them. The largest percentage of black doctors in uk are foreign trained. Black British rarely get to study medicine when compared to Asians and whites...that's a topic for another day. So u should be grateful nigerian trained doctors are helping to change the negative stereotypes of blacks in the global scene as regards professional career. |
