Great one by PMB. The wailers are already wailing due to their usual wail first understand later attitude.
Before any action u take try reason the after effect. Banning doctors from owning private hospital as still works as public doctor will make those doctors leave public and face private totally. Mind u to be a doctor to own a private hospital shows how qualified that doctor is. Meaning only small or inexperienced doctors will full public also making private more desirable and more expensive for individuals

Lol.....why did he ban it?? so long it does not disturb their commitment to govt hospitals (it does actually) ......


There is no commitment - I was talking to a nursing student from Owerri a few days ago who told me point blank that she would not do her internship in a government hospital, eventhough they would pay her more money (about 180k a month), the reason, she said , was because all the government equipment had been stolen by the docs and taken to their private practice.


The government hospitals basically lack basic equipment to treat patients.

Daft IPOB Yoot~!

Instead of debating the merits and demerits of the new law
, you went on a tangent as usual, allowing your hatred and jealousy for the sophisticated tribe and Buhari, to control your mental instability.

Is it Afonja's fault that your Flat head cannot accomodate brain cells?

Get over it, Buhari may still win a second term and your 5% vote remains inconsequential. tongue tongue

This is just senseless.

These doctors own private clinics to augment their salaries.

These doctors will prefer to find high jobs overseas than to live off the peanuts the state pays to them.

He's just lost a large number of votes

Can someone explain what will happen to the doctors that own their hospitals and are currently working in government hospitals?

If they'll have to resign, how many of them will prefer government owned entities? The pay they receive in a month from government could be gotten in two days most time in their hospitals.

Isn't it going to be suicidal if the ones that owns hospital resign as a result of this?
Only time will tell.

Granted that the bolded is TRUE, should it not bother us all to wonder:WHAT THEN ARE THEY STILL DOING HOLDING UNTO SUCH UNPROFITABLE GOVT JOB?

Why not leave such jobs for upcoming, younger Doctors?

or- could it be true that they hold unto it so they can direct Govt patients who come for treatment, to their own private hospitals?
- Could it be that they remain so they can loot Govt equipments and drugs for their own private hospitals?
- Could it be that they remain because they want to eat their cake and still have it?
- Why should someone hold two jobs when some cant even get one for a living?

Govt is not saying Doctors cant work in private Pracrice, as some are misleading themselves to believe.
Govt is saying: Chose ONE, Private Practice or Govt Practice.
How can that be a difficult choice, for a professional?


Some would chose Govt, some would chose private but whichever you chose, put-in your best.

I have taken someone to a Public Hospital where the Doctor, instead of doing a treating the patient, did not even bother to listen but referred the patient to his own private practice! Tha is all they do now - REFER YOU TO THEMSELVES, very unethical practice.

If those who decide to remain in Public Hospital feel there is a need to refer some patients to their friend's private hospital, then let them do so but it is really bad ethics to refer a patient you could treat there and then ina public hospital, to your own private hospital.

So you want to tell me you don't know it's to the advantage of the masses for the government to make doctors choose between government work or private employment? Are you people truly interested in having a better country?

If the priest decides to flog those who came late to church, what of those that did not come?

The country should be grateful that still have such highly experienced doctors on ground despite the peanuts they are paid.

If this law is adhered to, it will either be circumvented by also using stooges, by abandoning the public hospitals ( that would be a disaster) and focusing on private practice full time or fleeing abroad.

The primary reason why they have private hospitals because of the peanuts they are being paid. That's why a blind eye has been turned by the establishment.

We need to applaud the President on this one.
It takes courage to make these bold decisions, not minding that it could have political backlash.

Your arguement is devaluing itself!
if anyone feels a Govt job is not paying him/her enough and they have an option of working in the private sector, they should MOVE OUT.
There are so many other people who would galdly do that same job, for the same pay.
But it is sheer greed to try to hold on to both..... and still be complaining that the pay is not good.

One of the reason they engage in private practice is that they want to make more money, be the master/employer of themselves, have an alternative stream of income......... but they should not do it at the expense of the public treasury, no matter how small they get from it.

Well they should choose one...
Private practice or public/govt Hospitals..
Funny enough, 70% doctors usually run private clinics which they refer their patients to.

Highly commended move but I won't vote for Buhari though..

If you pay them well they won’t go out, in countries where they value life, nurses earn well what would make you open yours, here they even owe you inside the peanut, the politicians lack vision, inside of finding why it isn’t so, they take irradical solution, if I am a doctor I would open a clinic and put people there to run it, shikena
