Over one hundred doctors resigned from their jobs in Nigeria : Dr. Olumuyiwa Odusote

The Nigerian Medical Association says the exodus of doctors from Nigeria has reached an alarming proportion and called for improved health sector funding to discourage it.

The Chairman, Lagos State Chapter of NMA Dr. Olumuyiwa Odusote, on Thursday in Lagos said more than forty thousand of the seventy five thousand registered Nigerian doctors, are practicing abroad while 70 per cent in the country are thinking of picking jobs outside.

According to him, over one hundred doctors resigned from the University College Hospital, Ibadan, in 2017 while about eight hundred doctors resigned from Lagos State hospitals in the last two years.

Odusote described the situation as worrisome, added that two hundred and thirty six doctors wrote primaries for West Africa College of Physicians in 2017 to gain admission into Nigerian teaching hospitals.
