Nigerian doctors are bad, yet they thrive abroad. Whose fault is it when a woman in labor has to bring generator to a government hospital? It goes on and on and no I’m not a doctor.

There are both bad and good Nigerian docs abroad. Fortunately, the bad ones quickly get struck out or banned from practising.

martowskin1:


Even mechanics abroad earn more than engineers in Nigeria

Hard to convince them otherwise when even the African union has failed many of those who are most deserving

TheGreenLand:

Wait, let me do the maths!

Modify: that is around #130,000 per month.
It now depends on how much Nigerian Doctors earn per month!
But, I think you are right.
That's a shame!

Ur calculation is wrong, if someone earn 12dollar per hour, assuming the person works 12 hours a day, that's
144 dollars and that person works 26days a month that's 3744dollars in a month, now convert that to naira.

Some of you are suffering for your bad choices.... You said you are educated and well versed, still you voted for a clown like Buhari because of tribe and religion....

So keep complaining or travel out

That's not totally true, majority of Nigeria voters are illiterate that vote anything they are told to vote for, especially in the north, even south too.

Thank you, I was calculating 12 dollars a day instead of 12 dollars an hour... Thanks man!!

Let me modify!

An Israeli doctor said: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's liver put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work."

The German doctor says: "That's nothing,
in Germany we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."

The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."

The Nigerian doctor laughed: "You all are behind us. Three years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no liver and made him President.

Now, the whole country is looking for work!

MediahelmNGR:
The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has attributed poor remuneration and inadequate health facilities as some of the major reasons for mass exodus of medical doctors from the country.

Dr Ekpe Phillips, the FCT Chapter NMA Chairman, said this at the opening of the Annual Health Week of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) in Abuja where described the pay package of doctors in Nigeria as poor, stressing the need for government to increase the remuneration of doctors to address the challenge.

He noted that many doctors who left the country to take up foreign appointment did so due to inadequate facilities among other factors. He listed mass unemployment, lack of placement for residency faced by a high proportion of medical professionals in Nigeria as other factors.

Phillips said Nigeria is losing doctors to foreign countries, adding that Nigerian doctors are leaving the country for greener pastures and the workload is becoming too much on the doctors that stay.
“

Dr Michael Olarewaju, the President of Association of Residents Doctors, FCT chapter, said that brain drain was a massive problem to Nigeria’s health system. He said that if the problem was not properly tackled in the next two to three years there would not be enough doctors to treat patients in the country. He observed that initially the problem in the sector was strike by health workers “but now they are not going on strike but are exiting the country’’.

I came on a visit to Nigeria few years back and my cousin, a medical doctor, told me his salary was about 400k a month and he had to do a second job at another clinic to meet up to his financial obligations.
I was ashamed and embarrassed for him especially when I earned 4 times his salary a month and am just forensics.
Glad that he is now practicing in the UAE.
Is it true tho that Nigerian senators get 15 Milla a month?!!

Where is JOHESU?! Food has arrived!

Nigeria is a shit hole country simple!! Please run to other countries for greener pastures!!!

I am the best person to speak to as regards Emergency medical services

Docs, Kindly check my signature

The solution is for Nigerian doctors to have a passive income on the side that complement for their active income. Health2Wealth will be launching the #1Business1Kit campaign of second income opportunity for medical and health personnel soon.

Tellemall:
They're leaving because they're so bad that everybody googles their ailment.

(Last time one of them here on nairaland told us to Google our ailments. Or was that a nurse with a stethoscope?)

Modified: Don't preach to me Nigerian doctors. Ask their patients. Then take the average of votes for and against them.

If you were not brain damaged, you would have figured out that if they are as bad as you claim, foreign countries would not want them.

Ode Nigerian youth.

Government susidzed Medical students tution fee that are trained in Government Institution using tax payers money. It's imperative for those emerging healthcare professionals to work for a stipulated time and serve the people of Nigeria. But their avarice towards money, they don't care.
Therefore, if you were trained in a Government Institution, you have no rights to leave Nigeria for better pay and even to work in a Private Hospital. You were trained using public funds.

TheGreenLand:
I heard nurses abroad earn more than Doctors in Nigeria, for the medical practitioners based abroad, please is this true?!

very true o,

funlola87:

So he's supposed to love saving lives than making money? really? and when his children's school send a reminder about unpaid school fees or landlord knocks for due rent or his mum and siblings call for financial assistance, he just tells them all that he's passionate about saving lives. Abi? You do well.

i wish dey pay dem more but dey are still d most paid work in nigeria apart frm our politician tif. Wht do u want our teachers to do? To die? Doctors have better options dan teachers dat is y. Wht will u say about dose missionary doctors in dose days. Many pipu wld hv died in dose days if dey love money. Am talking frm experience.

In spite of this, there is a teeming population of medical doctors waiting to be absorbed into the workforce

Who is Nigerian here?


The problem with rectocranially inversed beings such as yourself is that you're still knuckle dragging when you should have evolved with the last set of Australopithecus.

Knuckle dragging dement.

You're the only Nigerian you're referring to here. Get your facts . Don't push the insecurities of your nationality on me.

If I were them, I will see up my own business and make it instead of leaving the country.

imam07:
Nigeria doctors too hv their own problem. Our love money than saving lives. Why wll a govt doctor own a private hospital.

so because u work for government , u can own a private business U sef!
