He explained that after receiving treatment in London, he was expected to continue therapy in Lagos, but the shortage of trained mental health professionals made the process difficult.
He said, “I was supposed to continue treatment in Lagos, but that was where I saw how much of a challenge it is to deal with that kind of condition. There was a lack of personnel. As at 2024, there was very little staffing within mental health. Psychiatrists, psychologists and people that are supposed to be servicing those fields.”

Brain Drain is really affecting our health care system in this country, that has created a serious loopholes in credible hands to attend to patients.
ReplyDeleteDOZZYBEST.
It’s all neo colonialism. They take the best from one nation to ensure that theirs remains prosperous, then the drained nation cannot develop properly because only a few of knowledge are around to develop it. Anti immigrant sentiments are only for the poor, the educated class is always welcomed. The never ending cycle of one nation progressing and the other remaining stagnant.
DeleteSomehow it is only when things get critical that the lesser nation decide to react, and I don’t get why they are never prepared or put policies in place to protect them and provide good incentives and remuneration to their highly skilled workers.
It's well with you, YCee.
