UK Employs 353 Nigerian Doctors In 100 Days -Saharareporters by AllahThePig: 12:42pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
At least 353 Nigerian doctors have been registered to work in the United Kingdom in the last 100 days. According to Punch, checks on the website of the General Medical Council – the body which licenses and maintains the official register of medical practitioners in the UK – showed that the GMC licensed at least 353 Nigerian-trained doctors between June 10, 2021 and September 20, 2021. The statistics also showed that between July 24, 2020 and September 21, 2021, about 862 Nigeria trained doctors were licensed in the UK despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, 8, 737 doctors who obtained their degrees in Nigeria currently practise in the UK. Speaking on Tuesday, the Vice-President of the National Association of Resident Doctors, Julian Ojebo, said the rate of migration might double in the coming weeks since doctors were not given the right remuneration. Ojebo argued that the doctors migrating to Saudi Arabia might even be more than those moving to the UK. He said it was unfortunate that the government had failed to address the plight of doctors and meet their conditions for calling off the strike which began on August 1, 2021. Ojebo stated, “If 353 Nigerian doctors have been licensed in the last 100 days, I am sure the figure will double within the next one month. The strike has opened the eyes to the doctors that Nigeria does not care about them. “I am sure the statistics for those migrating to Saudi Arabia would be higher. I have always said it that remuneration is usually the trigger for migration. It is now worse today due to insecurity and the lack of political will by government appointees to address the issues affecting the health sector. “I can tell you categorically that some of the issues we are fighting for are matters that should have been addressed since 2014 and we are still protesting in 2021. Like we have always said, whatever you earn in Nigeria, you stand the opportunity of earning three times that amount with better working conditions.” A poll by NOI in 2018 showed that 88 per cent of Nigerian doctors were considering work opportunities abroad, but experts say the figure may be higher due to the rising insecurity and economic crunch. Meanwhile, NARD has continued its strike amid rising COVID-19 and cholera infections. http://saharareporters.com/2021/09/22/uk-employs-353-nigerian-doctors-three-months-amid-ongoing-strike-nigeria Mynd44 Lalasticlala |

Hmmn. It is well. Like I stated in a similar thread. It's not a big deal to migrate. I just wish they are leaving with their own parents and siblings because no one will cater to them for them. |

Meanwhile, The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, says doctors who feel they want to relocate in search of greener pastures are free to do so as the nation has enough medical personnel https://punchng.com/doctors-free-to-leave-nigeria-we-have-enough-ngige/ "It might sound selfish, but we can't all be specialists. We can't.Some will be politicians.The man who sews my gown is a doctor. He makes the best gown. And some will be specialists, some will be GPs, some will be farmers." https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/adewole-minister-of-health-says-some-doctors-should-become-farmers-instead-of/jqy8q1h |

We have excessive doctors and MBBS students in Nigeria. Doing housemanship is a problem in Nigeria due to excessive candidates. They should take some of the final year students also. |

Good. The doctors will treat Buhari and Tinubu over there. We at home here will consult Witch doctors and Small doctor. But one day, monkey will go to the market and will be unable to return home. |

Buhari is more interested in cows and Ruga than human. Only the humans in charge of cow welfare are deserving of healthcare in their farm settlement. |

I ENCOURAGED MY LIEUTENANT TO BRUSH UP THE IMMIGRATION RULES ON TEMPORARY WORK PERMIT FOR NON IMMIGRANT SINCE WE ARE 106 OFICERS SHORT AT MY JOB. WE HAVE MANY NIGERIANS READY TO WORK ONLY IF THEY ARE OFFERED EMPLOYMENT DIRECTLY. HE WAS ASKING IF $16 PER HOUR IS A GOOD PAY. WISH THE DIRECTOR GRANTED THE REQUEST AllahThePig: |

Not just physicians. Nigerian-trained Nurses, Medical Lab Scientists, pharmacists are also been recruited in the UK. |
