Doctors can be the new source of foreign exchange if the govt can look deeper.
Every year in the universities more than enough qualified students for medicine are forced into other departments because the quota for medicine is 150 at max.
You'll see people with hyper impressive grades forced into other departments..
It won't take much for the FG to invest in the medical sector and improve the quota of every universities to 500.
That way we'll have much more exports and also more private hospitals at lesser rates.
This WILL be laudable IF we have the facilities to admit more and train them accordingly but when the facilities are absent, their hands will keep being tied.

Fix the medical institutes first then we can look at this proposal.

so because they pay less for their training as compared to their mates abroad means they should suffer and die abi? Why not do a comparison between our politicians and their mates abroad too. Doctors who are exposed to various kind of diseases, virus and germs on a daily basis are not duly compensated as compared to politicians who just go there and sit. Doctors hazard allowance is 5k per month but hardship allowance of politicians is in the hundreds of thousand if not million per month. So when you compare do that intelligence.


Lowest it cost a citizen to study medicine in America is $30K
It's a standard working economy unlike what we have in this country where everything is practically subsidized. Get your facts.

This is from their fellow Christian, Prof. Michael Ogueke, exposing the lies about #Islamisation agenda. Truth is bitter, so they say. Read with an open mind and thank this page later....God bless Nigeria
________

They go to work, live, holiday and shop in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait & Qatar. While there, they subject themselves completely to #Sharia laws and Islamic injunctions that govern these countries. They even learn Arabic to be able to communicate effectively.

But here in Nigeria that is governed by laws and a constitution that is based on the Christian CANONICAL laws...; here in Nigeria that uses for all its official documents, schedules & civil observances the GREGORIAN calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII, who issued the papal bull Inter gravissimas in 1582, announcing calendar reforms for all of Catholic Christiandom which gave birth to the Gregorian calendar in use today also called the Western or Christian calendar...; they want to die whenever they see Arabic inscription on anything.

They are so afraid of Islamization and are all running away to the Middle East to escape been Islamized by Buhari.

Just imagine any of our politicians being in one of the UK hospitals and it was made known to him or her that Doctor Isong, a Nigeria doctor will be doing the service.

Isn't that a disgrace to the politician and the country.

its easy to talk or give advise when you are not in the receiving end.

Everyone in Nigeria is in the receiving end. Except those in elite government office.

As a matter of fact when you are a doctor in any country you at a privilege place compare to the rest.

They themselves will never talk of the corruption in their own institute as a whole. Everyone point to government.

I choose to stay. Make your own decisions, live by it ..but stop making sensless attributions.

I took the time to read through the article, I am wondering what the government need to do. But as if I don't know, you see so long as political office holders continue their medical jamboree outside the country things will never change.

But on the other hand, there is the issue of the subsidy on the cost of going through the medical school in Nigeria. That on one side, the Doctors should also consider the health of Nigerians.

Like one chap suggested above, Nigeria can utilize the opportunity to produce more doctors and export them but they should also be willing to give back to the nation the money they've been given in Nigeria during their medical school years when the cost of their schooling was subsidized

Well said.

Even if all medical jamboree ,stealing, corruption stop,Nigeria still does not have the revenue per capita(population) to compare with Most countries.

NIGERIAN government needs to do better, everything isn't about looting and looting, a cousin of mine who is a medical doctor faced the same travails in Nigeria not until he moved to the US before alot of things changed for him


he now drive expensive cars, built a lavishly furnished duplex and other investments, NIGERIAN government needs to wake up and step up and be more responsible, they need to value our doctors because they are live savers, I am afraid if they don't do this, alot of young NIGERIAN doctors will move out en masse.

Government is not funding medicine in Federal schools. These guys pay through their nose to become doctors and then the government will want to pay them pea nuts for their services.

Remember that these people have needs and family to take care of.

shocked shocked
Which hall will u put them, which hospital will they go for training??
Government invest in the schools.

Many schools r graduating more than 150,
To graduate 500, it means u will give admission to over 700 students yearly and also lower the cut-off entry.

You didn't think it through properly.

Every Nigerian doctor should leave Nigeria, every single of them to the uk ��, USA or Saudi Arabia, other countries no get doctors? Nigerians love money so much, very wicked and greedy, that’s why u can’t get a dedicated doctor out there to save lives in Nigeria, at the back of their mind is always money money, go to hospitals and see their non Chalant attitude towards patients leading to high patience death rate, Nigerians are no Good people..
what you fail to understand is that they are not just going because of the money. By world standard, the ration of a doctor to patient is suppose to be 1:600. But in Nigeria here, the ratio as stated is 1:3500. Condition of service is far better than what dey get in Nigeria. Condition of service is not just about how much. Its far more that that. In Nigeria here, they lack the necessary equipment to effectively do your job. Abeg the matter plenty. When u are doing a job and not being appreciated, it demoralises someone. So the attitude of the doctors is normal. You can only discipline a worker only when all he needs to function effectively is provided and he still fvcks up

That's not what I'm implying at all. They should be paid handsomely even, but they shouldn't also forget the fact that they got that medicine and surgery certificate for the cheapest.

I think the issue is just religious fanaticism and intolerance,which they throw away when they are in Sharia countries,as a result of the more important struggle for survival.

You are still a looser. You abandon your country when they needed you. Worst than that you keep making attributions. The country is bad we know it has been so since time of fela and even so before him. Those who choose to stay defined themselves clearly..it's mind of matter. Material success over the spirit of our calling ( in your case saving struggling humans).

There are doctors in war torn region doing their bid in this regards. So do what you must but live with your decisions. The rest of us up here will keep doing our best. You down there do yours. But overall yours is a weak mind

The medical profession is a spiritual one no different from men of God. If you moneytise it beyond a point. You loose the original meaning and all that is left is perhaps the bureaucrat one.

First of all go and ask the president and other political leaders why they are always flying abroad for medical attention?

Right now the medical sector in Nigeria even lack the capacity to make a proper and accurate diagnosis.

If one cannot correctly examine and identify what the health challenge is how can the right treatment be prescribed and administered?

This subsidized medical education sounds quite funny and that's the narrative painted by the government for the public.
Let me ask a question, even if you didn't study Medicine, the quality of education you got in a Nigerian University as well as the quality of life you experienced, does it worth paying millions?. Same scenario applies to med school in Nigeria , prior to graduating, they introduced a clinical fee of 100k per session asides school fees and accommodation making the total fee almost 200k , yet you have about 8 students in a single room at times and they claim it's subsidized.
Others will say Medical studies in UK, US, Canada is expensive forgetting that the quality of education and quality of life is worth it, secondly , there is facility for student loans which is repayable after graduating .
You want us paying millions for the current standard of Education in Nigeria, it's not possible and the government knows this.
What is more embarrassing is that neighbouring West African countries pay their health workers much better than Nigeria even with a poorer economy.
