“It is time that the gesture is extended to the health sector to boost service delivery and curb brain drain and health tourism, he said.

Ujah added that medical personnel have been frustrated by the lack of investment in the health sector with the shortage of equipment and frequent strikes preventing them from doing their job effectively.

He said that the country’s health sector has been bedeviled with brain drain, leaving the nation’s health indices among the worst in the world. jamb results

He said that only about 40,000 medical doctors were practicing in the country out of the over 80,000 who registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.

“The current doctor to population ratio in the country was about one doctor to between 4000 and 5000 population.”

“This falls short of the one doctor to 600 population as recommended by the World Health Organisation.”

“This means that we need about 303,333 medical doctors now, and at least 10,605 new doctors annually to bridge the manpower gap in the health sector.”

“This is particularly disturbing because Nigeria only graduates about 3,000 to 3,5000 medical doctors across medical schools in the country annually”.
