AAC Presidential Candidate, Sowore Laments Poor Pay Of Nigerian Doctors, Promises Adequate RemunerationThe shortage of doctors has been majorly associated with their relocation to other countries for better opportunities.
According to the online register of the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom , which is responsible by law for registering UK doctors, the number of Nigerian doctors practising in the UK jumped from 7,167 in 2019 to 9,203 in 2021.Speaking at the Nigerian Medical Association National Executive Council Meeting/Leadership Retreat in Asaba, Delta State on Thursday, Sowore promised to review the salary structure of medical doctors and other civil servants.
Medical doctors and other health workers have downed tools many times in the past over the failure of the government to review the salary structure which has been due since 2014.
YeleSowore I love Yele’s plans. I think he’ll make a brilliant president one day.
