that is not what I asked you...

if you say "Nigeria is being exploited by UK,USA and Canada by poaching their best healthcare workers", how come nigerian politicians prefer foreign doctors and foreign hospitals to nigerian hospitals?

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.

Nigeria is being exploited by UK,USA and Canada by poaching their best healthcare workers.(UK Medicine admissions fell by 12% this year)

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.

franchasng:
You fake enlightened Yoróba APC members will just wake up and be talking nonsense out of your senseless effort to defend and support Tinubu's senseless and futile policies.


How and where did you see a Nigerian Doctor migrate abroad to work under one year after graduation, how is it possible? Don't you know that most countries make it compulsory for you to have at least 2 or 3 years work experience before they can accept you?


The other senseless APC online thug said Nigeria trained healthcare workers with taxpayer's money, how and where? So people that also went to private universities were trained by the government? You guys are being so foolish in the name of trying so hard to defend Tinubu's senseless policies.


The reason healthcare workers are migrating abroad is poor wage and salary/allowances.


Tell Tinubu to stop traveling abroad for medical treatment and also ban same for all government officials, then increase budget to ministry of health, buy more medical equipments for government hospitals, renovate and expand existing healthcare facilities, and increase healthcare workers salaries.


Let House Officers (what you guys call Doctors) be paid a minimum of NGN1,500,000 above as starter salary, and Nurses NGN800,000 above and watch them stop migrating naturally.


Senseless people supporting a senseless and directionless leadership

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

lexy2014:


as old as you are, cant you answer a simple straightforward question?

if you say "Nigeria is being exploited by UK,USA and Canada by poaching their best healthcare workers", how come nigerian politicians prefer foreign doctors and foreign hospitals to nigerian hospitals?

malali:


The answer is there, its not my fault if you don't have the capacity to comprehend it, i am sorry i cant help you with that. I gave you answer, you would have to be intellectually challenged not to understand.

malali:


Good question !
Seeking healthcare is like building a house.
Nigeria has a the best plumbers, no carpenter, mediocre electrician, average painter- Team Nigeria
Foreign hospitals have average plumbers,average carpenters,average electrician,average painter- Team Abroad

So the Foreign hospitals will still poach our Best Plumbers eventually.

Oghene86:


Which tax payers moneys? We paid school fees and sorted out our living allowances, the government is shy away from its responsibilities, if you want to ensure that medical workers don't migrate, you have to improve on your medical facilities, ensure they are well paid at least close to what their counterpart take home abroad.
You politicians steal the resources and money meant for Nigerians and you come up with useless policies, I struggle to train my kids with my hard earned money you want to dictate to me what they do, this is not North Korea.

with all your capacity to comprehend and not being intellectually challenged, how does this response answer the question asked you?

Avoid my posts, next time.
Thank you.

drstranged:

Your suggestions look sound except the second to last paragraph. A doctor CANNOT practice anywhere, including his country without a certificate. The certificate goes beyond just certification but also as a boundary between a real medical practitioner and a quack. Without such certificate, you'd watch as the number of quacks rise in health care practice, and this will further endanger the lives of Nigerians. The government should instead address the main issues at hand which are propelling them to leave especially renumeration and provision of adequate facilities/tools for them to work with.

OChimex:


Clown . In the US, they don't recognize Nigeria certificate nor education/training.

You can't be employed in the US with your useless Nigeria certificate. Lol..

Ask Tinibu to stop seeking medical help abroad too.. it's the same. You patronize outsiders for what your people have
