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.


E no go better for quota System!!

While the doctors are talking about their new revenue, they should also talk about their expenditure in Saudi. Besides, they shouldn't forget to compare the liberty they enjoy in Nigeria to that of Saudi. Life is not measured in money alone.

They should also tell us about the ethics of the profession. Can they open private hospital while working in the govt hospital in Saudi? Can they refer patients from the govt hospital to their own private clinics in Saudi?. Do they address patients anyhow in Saudi? Do they sleep with patients and their relatives recklessly in their waiting room in Saudi ? Do they offer mediocre services in Saudi?

While people will rush to blame the govt, remember to look into the way doctors behave in Nigeria as well, acting far superior to other professionals in Nigeria. Till we can look into all these, we won't have a balanced conversation.

One of the best contribution so far.

Nobody will make you stay and fight. No one.
You tolorated it when you needed the certificate. The whites never came for you then..you was worthless. It was this worthless education you use to gain knowledge and sit for their own exams. Yet no consciousness of return service. Like I said earlier everyone of us face temptations and pressure from the system. The difference between you and the rest is weak mind and you cave in to the pressure. It's not them it you.


I pledge to Nigeria my country..it's for better for worst. Learn to take vows seriosue
if any doctor did NYSC, he had bloody served his country and done his bloody quota. They don't owe your entitled asses shit.

Talking as if you all pay tax. Mtcheeeeeeeeeew!!

Poor renumeration breeds resentment, anger and dissatisfaction.
Pay and treat your health workers well and see if they will not work with joy and smiles everytime.
So what you wrote is rubbish.

Negligence is evil. But some may come from frustration! Remember these doctors are human too.
They should be treated like gold. That is my own.

Philippines established numerous nursing schools training large numbers of nurses for foreign exports. They are the majority of foreign nurses in U.K. and middleast. Nigeria can establish medical schools to train doctors for overseas consumption. We have plenty of brilliant people in Nigeria who can train as doctors and nurses for foreign consumption. It’s a win-win situation because foreign remittance to Nigeria by Nigerians working abroad is a major source of foreign currency for Nigeria as at now. And many of these doctors and nurses will also help their jobless relatives at home. Creating businesses for them and improving them economically. This will eventually reduce unemployment and crime in Nigeria. Unfortunately only few of our leaders have brains. They are more interested in corruption and power.

With their fat bellies and unnecessary high numbers, they fill the house of assembly and Senate and government houses as ministers and all political appointed positions sucking the country dry with straw. They know how to pay themselves well. They go abroad when sick. God don catch them. Very soon when our politicians travel abroad they'll goan jam a Nigerian doctor who'll pay them back in their own coin by shooking needless in every part of their body and give them ghonorhea drugs when they complain of headache. God punish them all

You are the one spewing rubbish. Your kind will blame Nigeria Police of corruption but justify ineptitude and rendering of poor services by doctors. To your warped mind, it's justifiable for medical doctor to render poor services due to poor pay. You should be ashamed. No professional is paid his true worth in Nigeria.

Superiority complex is killing you and you won't even last long in the employment in all these foreign countries if you replicate this mindset over there. You expect to be treated like gold, you should have asked for diamonds treatment.

There's always absorption capacity to aid management. Have you asked yourself why University of Ibadan is always rated the best in Nigeria? In spite of the fact that it is the premier University, you will hardly see a department with more than 70 students admitted into any level of studies. It is for effective and efficient training and not garbage in, garbage out. That's partly the reason behind UI success story unlike most Universities in Nigeria where students are admitted as if they are going to the market to do "bend down select".

AND UNA THINK SAY NA ONLY DOCTORS?

Every Working Nigerian is an asset undervalued in our own Nation where we are supposed to be treated like Kings and have people come down here for training of all sort. BUT how would expect anything good of a place that still shares electricity, have nepa roaming about and government putting quotas on everything. No standard measures... wait sef? Do we still have these SON (Standard Organization of Nigeria) actively involved in the interests of Nigerians?

the pay for house officers may be low but in overseas, first year residents receive just as less as that. I think doctors should receive salaries just like bankers or on the same scale. it is our disadvantage when doctors leave even during a pandemic.

Spare us this nonsense already. The country is in crisis and it isn't only doctors that are suffering the pain.

Every sector is affected except the political class.

Students in Nigeria spent next to nothing to be trained as a doctor. In fact, some were absorbed into civil service schemes grade 9 in their state while studying.

They want the world to given to them because they studied medicine? You ask you to? I don tire to dey hear this, walahi

Go and slave there and spare us this horsesh.t. For, they would soon join the league of the super rich. Abi?

if all the doctors leave, who go treat the sick ?

I am happy they found better working conditions outside here.
We know our government don't care if all of them leaves.But they should not forget it cost them little to get medical education here,compared to some of the countries they now ply their trade. So they should not hesitate to extend free medical support to Nigerians when they have extras

Well, they don't need to do all that, since they are now earning a decent enough salary that covers for all the gains they would make from their private clinic.

Plus most doctors in this country do not address patients anyhow in this country. You are extrapolating your bad experience with a few doctors to the whole mass.

Plus, when a doctor sees over 70 patients in a day, goes on call overnight, and is seeing another 50 patients the following morning, you won't expect that person to be in a good mood, would you?

They are just over hyping themselves I swear. An engineering student for example spends 5 years in school, during NYSC he is posted anywhere and atimes earns nothing other than his federal allawee but doctors are given specify treatment. Most graduates can't do more than one job that's if they even get jobs. Whereas doctors can do multiple jobs. Doctors should calm down
Doctors are given special treatment because of the fact that they deal with human lives...get that into your head!!!
And since your government has failed to realise this,other more sensible foreign governments will recruit more of them into their countries and give them special treatment as doctors.

I'll want to differ a bit on this issue.
If all the doctors escape to Saudi and other countries, what happens to the health of their extended family members?
Have you ever witnessed the way medical workers behave in Nigeria? They are heartless and money conscious. Money over everything. There are stages in life. After their working life, they will later realize that the monies they earned was never fulfilment.
Go to any vaccination centre and see how medical workers are making the process difficult just to squeeze out bribes from those who want to be vaccinated.
Am I justifying the way FG is treating doctors? No! Every branch of Nigerian Labour is in shambles. Labor is bastardized in Nigeria. Employers are so wicked to use 1 staff to do a job of 20 staff and in the end pay peanut. We are all guilty. Look at Private schools that charge so much and yet their teachers can't even afford second hand clothing. All professionals are suffering. None is smiling!
Do you know the level of corruption in the health sector? CMDs are worse than demons. These people hoard job slots and casualize doctors....just imagine that. They divert free drugs donated to their facilities by foreign donors and sell them in their private pharmacies. Corruption still remain the number 1 enemy of Nigeria followed by religion.
As much as I don't blame anyone for seeking greener pastures elsewhere, let's not make money the motivation for every decision we make.

In the 1950's and 60's, most Nigerians could not access care at UCH Ibadan.

Plus UCH was a new hospital in 1960. Add the fact that it was one of a few hospitals of its kind then, so it got a disproportionate amount of funding from the health budget.

Today we have more than 20 teaching hospitals, and our health budget has not been able to go up. Saudi has a higher income than we do due to producing ten times more oil than we do...so can afford superior hospitals.
Its because the people that have served us since that time lost focus. Health care, Security, Education, Electricity and Infrastructure should be the focus of any serious government.

Focus is all very well, but if we aren';t earning the cash to keep up the equipment, it would after some time break down.

There has been a lot of focus on health, in fact in 2004, the government spent a lot of money upgrading teaching hospitals. The problem was Nigeria is not earning enough money to keep those hospitals and their equipment up to standard.

It is easy to buy car, but if my salary goes down suddenly, how would I pay for maintenance, upgrades, etc.

The problem with government is not focus...it is that they do not want to make our economy more productive because doing so means implementing measures that would make them lose power.
