The Canadian government sure need to listen to the protesters complaint and implement their demand - I know they'll do it. Because failure to do so will lead to the collapse of the robust advancement they have enjoyed so far in all sections of their existence.

Unnecessary pay raise for doctors will make lawyers, business owners and other professionals to increase the cost of their respective services too. Unfortunately, in the end, it's the poor among in the society that will bear the harsh brunt effects - and of course, civilization collapses the very moment the gap between the haves and have nots widen so much.

The new and present China should be a case study for any country that wishes to become or remain a healthy 21st century economy.

Canada here we come!

bro abeg, I need help with Canadian visa.

A physician is paid $260,924 (94Million Naira a year)

My friend who works as an I.T Engineer who was earning about 200K in Naija before he travelled to Canada Just 3 years ago earns about 84,000 CAD(that's about 24 Million a year) excluding bonuses oooo

Do not let ANYBODY fool you that the grass is not always green at the other side, the only shortcoming you will have is if you are not with your legal papers to work or live abroad.

We have been so beclouded by poverty and hardship that we see basic amenities as luxury, just like you buying a "tokunbo car" and you feel you have "arrived" or you buying a brand new iphone or some peeps will boast of having AC in their houses.. smh.

You see peeps forming tuush because they are shopping at the Mall (ShopRite etc) meanwhile that's like an average market everyone goes to here.

If you have the opportunity to leave this country, I use GOD beg you... Waka Far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The doctors are ingrates.
What is their goal in life if it is not to amass wealth?

Did Bill Gates become the world's richest man by turning down more money?

This is pure foolishness, their parents would regret ever sending them to medical school.
They honestly need a reorientation.

Typical of........

Dumbass!!! Did you even read their plight or motive behind the protest. If Nigerian senators can protest the salaries and welfare of teachers,police and other under paid civil servants;imagine the positive impact that would have.

Those are normal human being.

dude why you talking in this manner? They are not saying the more money is not good, they are saying more money when the colleagues that make up the hospital such as the medical lab scientists, the nurses, clerks and patients(not enough facilities for their welfare) are suffering that the pay rise should be focused on better and more pressing issues than them (the doctors)

Am still wondering about those who liked and probably shared your comment.

Ingrate to who? Maybe you should read the meaning of ingrate.

Bill Gate doesn't earn salary. He pays people salary and does involve in a lot of charity, even health development in Africa.

Did their parents tell you privately they are suffering?
Or they are proud of them for training and seeing them practise what they like.

So who needs reorientation?

ASUU SSANU NASU NAAT should please take note.

No need laying eggs over nwaamaikpe's comments.

The guy is a comedian who uses sarcasm to amuse himself.

If you've noticed, his comments are often made from a standpoint of going against the flow.

Which only shows that he is most probably just catching his fun here on nairaland by playing the Devil's Advocate almost all the time!

and they say we should stay in dis country...Hope our leaders are listening

Doctors in Nigeria yearly salary no pass N5 million and physicians in Canada are paid over N90 million a year and they are complaining

Ayemi temi bami

Seriously, I don't monitor people or know him. If he had wanted to play the devil's advocate, he would have said maybe the protest was made out of pretence by the doctors so no one would come for their attack later in the event people decide to criticize their raise.

That is d reason why things are working in such countries..when a country lack people with sound minds n understanding of economic development path, that country is bound to fail e.g Nigeria.. The goal in life is not just to accumulate money but to find fulfillment by doing d right thing that will bring happiness n will touch many lives positively..You prefer an unjust situation were some people earn far higher than others while they do less n those that do more earn less..white people are not like blacks from Africa.We are too greedy.

what am i doing in this clinic sef? too much money...

Foolish and stupid doctors Who does that?

Obviously non Nigerians

Never knew there were Drs who cared about other health professionals.

They are not as religious as we are here in Nigeria but they have genuine moral values

eTECTIVe:
Jesu.. No wonder our doctors are running to Canada

It's really difficult to get into the Canadian medical system as an African-trained doctor. The UK and USA are easier, and the USA pays more or at least on par.

drizzit:
In Canada, more than 500 doctors and residents, as well as over 150 medical students, have signed a public letter protesting their own pay raises.
"We, Quebec doctors who believe in a strong public system, oppose the recent salary increases negotiated by our medical federations," the letter says.
The group say they are offended that they would receive raises when nurses and patients are struggling.

"These increases are all the more shocking because our nurses, clerks and other professionals face very difficult working conditions, while our patients live with the lack of access to required services because of the drastic cuts in recent years and the centralization of power in the Ministry of Health," reads the letter, which was published February 25.

"The only thing that seems to be immune to the cuts is our remuneration," the letter says.
Canada has a public health system which provides "universal coverage for medically necessary health care services provided on the basis of need, rather than the ability to pay," the government's website says.
The 213 general practitioners, 184 specialists, 149 resident medical doctors and 162 medical students want the money used for their raises to be returned to the system instead.

"We believe that there is a way to redistribute the resources of the Quebec health system to promote the health of the population and meet the needs of patients without pushing workers to the end," the letter says.
"We, Quebec doctors, are asking that the salary increases granted to physicians be canceled and that the resources of the system be better distributed for the good of the health care workers and to provide health services worthy to the people of Quebec."

A physician in Canada is paid $260,924 ($339,000 Canadian) for clinical services by the government's Ministry of Health per year on average, according to a report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information published in September 2017. On average, a family physician is paid $211,717 ($275,000 Canadian) for clinical services and a surgical specialist is paid $354,915 ($461,000 Canadian), according to the same report.

This is total gross pay, however, and does not take into account overhead each doctor pays to operate, as the Canadian Institute for Health Information is careful to point out to CNBC Make It.
In May 2016, one physician publicly broke down the cost of running his family practice, and though he brought in $231,033 ($300,000 Canadian), he was left with $136,906 ($177,876 Canadian) after subtracting his business expenses — but before taxes and employment benefits are taken out.

The cost of medical school in Canada is subsidized by provincial governments, according to The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada. The cost varies depending on whether a student is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or foreign student and the particular school. For Canadian citizens or permanent residents, tuition for the first year of medical school ranges from $2567 ($3,334 Canadian) to $20,064 ($26,056 Canadian), according to The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada's website.

The same group, the Médecins Québécois pour le Régime Public (MQRP), that published the aforementioned public letter, also published a letter on February 17 opposing $500 million worth of pay increases for specialist doctors. The group called the pay increase "indecent."
And on February 1, the MQRP published a letter denouncing working conditions of nurses. "The nurses are exhausted by a heavy workload. They argue that the chronic lack of staff and the fatigue caused by repeated overtime, sometimes mandatory, for lack of replacement of the team, have an impact on the safety of patient care," the letter says.

Now that is a country!

I will say it for the umpteenth time that there is something patently wrong with the Blackman's DNA/gene...

You can see reasonable human beings exhibiting the candour/forthrightness to oppose an unfair/injudicious system even when they are the beneficiaries.

Come to Nigeria and see how doctors are capitalizing on the crappy system here to sustain the status quo. They hardly care that other medical professionals, who by the way do most of the leg/dirty work, hardly get a look in from the system. Doctors have been know to fight any attempt to raise the working conditions of other health workers in Nigeria...

It is rife in this clime. People are at top in companies and establishments see those at the lower rung as foot mats only meant to be trampled upon. How pathetic...

You have said nothing but the truth.
What I wonder is, 'how did the black man find himself here'?, did we not evolve as humans like whites or are we a sort of lesser or inferior beigns?

eleojo23:


These guys care about other healthcare workers unlike in this part of the world where the reverse is the case.

Pull-them-down syndrome is endemic here
Doctors will most of the time resist any attempt that will lead to better welfare for the other healthcare professionals.
And in so doing, have created a very toxic work environment in the healthcare setting.

There is definitely something wrong with the black man..

God bless you real good.
