The NMA says with the trend of medical doctors leaving the country, there may be a need to hire doctors from foreign countries in the future.

August 16, 2022 10:15 PM

The association said this on Tuesday at the official opening of the 2022 scientific conference, titled: ‘National Health Authority Act – The Sound Bites’, held in Ibadan, the Oyo capital. Ayotunde Fasunla, the Oyo NMA chairman, called for a state of emergency on the health sector, adding that the poor state of government-owned medical facilities is something to be concerned about.“The infrastructure deficit is such that some of our hospitals spend a significant amount of their internally generated revenues on diesel to ensure power supply,” he said.

“It is our plea to the government to commit more funds to the health sector so that the system does not collapse.“Only healthy people can have the will and strength to contribute to the growth and development of a nation’s economy.
