According to The PUNCH, the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria, on Sunday, decried the mass exodus of medical and dental consultants to developed countries.


The association added that the exodus had caused significant disruptions to the Nigerian healthcare ecosystem.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja, the National President of the association, Dr Victor Makanjuola, who read the communiqué at the end of the National Executive Council meeting of the association, which was held at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, noted that the Federal Government had failed to address the implementation of the upward review of the retirement age of health workers, which had further heightened the irreversible damage to the nation’s health security.

Makanjuola noted that the decision of the Federal Government to release a circular on the new hazard allowance was not in line with the earlier agreement reached during negotiations with the association.

He said, “Many recent policies of the government appear to target medical professionals and their practice in Nigeria, which adversely impact on the quality of healthcare delivery in the country. The recently released circular on the review of hazard allowance by the Federal Government is grossly inadequate to address the multiple risks faced by an average health worker in Nigeria and further complicates the near complete erosion of relativity in remuneration that has existed among different health workers.
