Health Minister Adewole Is Sad Doctors Are Leaving Nigeria

The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, says he is not happy that Nigerian doctors are leaving the country for greener pastures.






 Labour Minister Chris Ngige had recently said Nigeria had more than enough doctors and that those wanting to relocate to other countries in search of greener pastures were free to do so. But speaking in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, yesterday at the Annual General Conference/Delegates meeting of the Nigerian Medical Association, the health minister decried the increasing rate of brain drain in the health sector. 


 Adewole, represented by the Chief Medical Director of Alex Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki, Dr Emeka Onwe, said:”I am not particularly happy with the latest trend of doctors leaving the country to other lands for greener pastures. “We shall continue to ensure the welfare of the health workforce is improved. Our effort at centralising the internship posting of newly graduated doctors has received the support of FEC and will be rolled out within the year”. 


The minister also decried the inability of several state governments to recruit and keep medical doctors, including specialists, in their secondary and tertiary care hospitals.

“In many cases most local governments’ health facilities do not have a doctor. These are unrelated to poor welfare and remuneration package at various levels amongst other factors”, he said.

  2. Why won't they leave? Good brains ain't appreciated here so why stay when they can afford to go where they'll be appreciated. As for the minister of labour, he will face his in future, no need for too much talks.

    1. Dr. Adebola kindly tell us how much your salary is because if it was nothing to write home about, you will not be sitting on that πŸ’Ί. You would have left Nigeria way long before now. Use your position to make things better rather than crying more than the bereaved.
