Nigeria is being exploited by UK,USA and Canada by poaching their best healthcare workers.

They let Nigeria train them(for relatively free) only for them to hire them for peanuts into their own system.

How does the USA,UK and Canada prevent this happening to them ?

They saddle all graduates with huge loans.......give or take 350 thousand dollars.

So that when you graduate, you will be forced to work in the USA, if you desire to pay back that loan.

If you decide to go work somewhere else, you will never be able to pay back that loan.(They devalue the currency of the home country)

If Nigerian government wants to stop this, they need to saddle all those courses that are high brain-drain prone with huge loans.

Give every doctor a 10 million Naira loan, payable only to his tuition and then give them a job where 1 million Naira is forgiven every year or 500k every year. Only award them certificates as doctors after the loans are paid in full or on completion of a mandatory 10 years of working in a government hospital. Salaries have to be competitive and realistic. No doctor should earn less than a senator.

This will deter a lot of health workers from going abroad the next day after graduating.

Hehehe! Remember you are always going abroad to seek healthcare. You better ban yourself, Governors, Ministers, NASS members from foreign medical tourism.

We finally can feel it
We now have a president that touches all sector


The lady time we had anything like it was in 2009(Under Yaradua)

When we encourage local investors like Innoson and Dangote, pay the students monthly, deploy rangers to farm and increase health worker pay...

We are now the green pasture

Atleast Tinubu seem to be better than the dollard that put Nigerian Economy on a free fall for 8 solid years.

Retain its best brains by giving sinators and representaThieves N160 million SUVs in addition to their humongous monthly package while doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians etc are paid peanuts?

Are you kidding yourself, or are you just joking about this crisis

eldoradoxx:
I read through, looking for action points on how the policy is intended to work, alas, all i saw was grammar, the usual grammar and nothing else. Doctors, please stay where you are. Nigeria has not changed to deserve a head ache

Baxilexi:
My questions:
Are doctors the only ones leaving?

Are doctors the only ones whose education was subsidized by FG/SG?

When residents were striking in the last administration, notifying the government of the day of the challenges they had in the health sector, were the demands met?

When the government lied about raising the earnings of house officers were they prosecuted for it?

When Fashola sacked doctors at lasuth on a whim, what was done?

When then labor minister Ngige said if you’ve got surplus of anything you should export, hence whichever doctor wanted to leave had the right to leave, was he called to order?

With the deterioration in the purchasing power of all Nigerians should doctors also turn to hustlers, farmers and peasants?

Medicine is such a prestigious profession that its workers should be adorned with utmost respect and dignity. Our system rewards political thugs, party fanatics and cultic loyalist at the expense of professionals.

When the NHIS is fixed, when we’ve got a robust emergency service system, when hospitals at all levels possess the standard equipment and facilities, when doctors (currently in Nigeria) are provided with incentives such as houses, cars, bus passes, work meals and reduced taxes, then, just then can diaspora doctors begin to consider returning.

Note I, didn’t ask for a pay raise*

https://punchng.com/japa-tinubu-approves-policy-to-retain-medical-experts-within-nigeria/

FreeStuffsNG:
We call on recipient countries to implement a 1:1 match—training one worker to replace every publicly trained Nigerian worker they receive.

The policy champions reciprocal agreements with other nations to ensure that the exchange of health workers benefits Nigeria. These bilateral and multilateral agreements are designed to protect national interests while respecting the rights and aspirations of our healthcare professionals.
Many Nigerian healthcare workers leave the country for greener pastures, leaving their colleagues to contend with additional workload and extended call hours.

This policy is a great effort on the part of the executive arm of the Federal Government. The real drain is the uncontrolled migration of healthcare professionals educated with tax payers' hard-earned money. It's daylight robbery of the taxpayers, states and Federal Government by these public-educated Healthcare professionals who flee abroad after their education with public funds! Cuba stopped it and today secured its health system with professionals trained with public taxes,Nigeria can do so too. This injustice meted to the Nigerian state by the fleeing healthcare professionals educated with public funds has to stop immediately. It's an ungodly and criminal injustice done to the Nigerian public education and Healthcare system.

I am glad that the states will execute the policy as well. This is the kind of policy many Nigerian Patriots have been calling for in order to protect the rights of the average Nigerian taxpayer whose tax was used to educate a healthcare professional who immediately flees abroad after receiving training with taxes paid by Nigerians. It's a completely unfair system and something should have long been done about it although it's good that something is eventually being done to arrest the fraud.

that's not the reason

Remman:
Still won't work on those who actually want to go.

sonnie10:
It will become a racket. Did you know that almost all doctors make more than 10 million naira equivalent a month in the US. Do you think those Nigeria trained doctors will not find someone to off set the debt for them to pay back double?
I guess is that only the children of the poor will be left behind. The rich can pay back any amount.
