Okwyla: See propaganda!!! Which profession isn't leaving for greener pastures ? Do you know how many Radiographer that are getting HCPC CERTIFIED and leaving yearly? What is the ratio of radiographers to the population? Same for other professionals. My point?. Medical doctors should drop this messianic-COMPLEX already.This whole write-up is in furtherance of their stance against the government implementing an agreement it willfully went into with other health professionals. They forget that everyone is"equally important". The nonsense has to stop. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Cuteamigo1: I personally think, the government does not care about the health and well being of its citizens...... Once their health requires attention, they fly abroad to be looked after by the same Doctors checking out and they pay in hard currency......... They are just simply clueless...... |
Re: 2,000 Medical Doctors Leave Nigeria Yearly by Cuteamigo1(m): 10:30am On Apr 22, 2018 |
Lexusgs430:that is correct but really i dont know how to look at this. i think most institutions in the country are messed up. i want to side with the doctors but i think they need to be a little bit patient too(that is not to say thier current situation is anything to write home about). imagine the amount needed to put our power, agriculture, roads, railways, airports sea ports, educational sector and many more all on an 6 to 7 trillion budget that is never fully implemented. its gona take a genius to juggle all this and satisfy everybody in the process. the federal government needs to relieve itself of alot of this responsibilities and then things may work out. |

africanusvu:lolzzzzzzzzzz, as if you will just travel out to, for example UK or US and just barge into any hospital and present your MD certificate and voila!!!!! you get employed and be earning 50,000 dollars per month. I know of a story of a surgeon in Nigeria who travelled to US, and is working as a taxi driver, but although I guess they are doing well and even a story of a doctor working as a chef in UK (I guess it was on NL). Even those who schooled over there are finding it difficult to get employment there except those born there or have citizenship. Rather than for these people to tell the younger ones the truth, they make them feel as if it is easy to just jet out and work abroad. No parastal in Nigeria is well paid from lecturers to even our security operatives (What do you expect a soldier who collects about 50k per month to go to Sambisa to fight BH to say) in fact compared to other professions in Nigeria, Dr's salary structure is better, right from NYSC (in Sokoto, Dr, Vets and Dentists earn 50k minus fed alawee while others like Botany, Education, Microbiology etc earn 5k) to civil service where a fresh graduate earns about 70-80k per month (placed at Level Eight) while a fresh Dr earns about 150k+ (placed at Level 12), almost X2. So to me it's a general problem in Nigeria and I believe Dr's are better off compared to other professions. 1 Like |

Cuteamigo1: Don't forget that Dr's also have to have a sense of fulfillment and professionalism...... They also have families to look after and personal things they also want to achieve......... When an SSCE holder is earning N13.1 Million a month, and a Doctor is earning N300,000 a month. N300,000 that can easily be made working for 2 days abroad. Imagine the multiplier effect on their pocket and bank balance.... Before anyone tells me wages are taxable and the cost of living is higher, I guarantee you like for like, checking out like Andrew, is the best solution....... |

zoomzoom: 1. It isn't propaganda, it is more of a pointer to the fact that we are not funding health care adequately. 2.The only ways to increase funding are by more taxes, higher hospital fees or privatization of hospitals. 3. Johesu and doctors should join hands and fight on the funding issues because govt does not have money to hear anyone. SSANU went on strike recently, govt just looked at them. |

Are they the only professionals in this country? Maybe the government should start paying them millions monthly, maybe they will stop nagging. This is not an attack, they are needed in the country but they should understand that the problem is from the corrupt system. A teacher in a government school is paid peanut, A police man is paid peanut Same with soldiers. Any doctor that have chance to leave the country should leave, That's the best thing to do. 1 Like |
