'Nigeria Loses 20,000 Doctors to Foreign Countries'

                                                   

The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) yesterday revealed that over 20, 000 medical personnel from Nigeria have migrated to foreign countries to seek greener pastures and better working conditions. The council also said that Nigeria is one of the highest exporters of health workers, doctors and nurses with about 4,000 to the United States of America.

National Chairman, Association of Public Health Practitioners of Nigeria, Dr Obehi Okojie, stated this during the induction ceremony of 103 graduates of foreign medical institutions and Igbinedion University Okada.

This is rather depressing, but then they have to do what is best for them considering our dear country is on the rocks on so many issues. For the remaining doctors here, it is well!!
