He said that 59 years after Nigeria’s Independence, its health sector had deteriorated in healthcare delivery, resulting in medical tourism.
Saheed said that having a functional Primary Healthcare system in the country was an effective way of addressing the nation’s health sector challenges. Saheed urged that all stakeholders should agree on collective and unified common agenda that would deliver efficient, affordable and accessible healthcare services in the country.
Tackling medical tourism, April 2001, Nigeria was 1 of 4 AU countries that pledged 15% annual budget on healthcare, 18 yrs passed she remained far from reaching goal. If shortage is the issue, poor infrastructure and low wages are the reasons, imported doctors cannot solve these.
Please give import license to duly accredited companies
Punch, the headline doesn't correlate with the content
The weird part is they will import doctors and pay them what they refused to pay our own doctors just because they are foreigners. This is how much the govt really doesn't give a fuck
But why aren't we talking of upgrading the pay of the docs in-house (That's what other countries do that make the Nigerian docs run there. Better working conditions!!!) have we set that one in place first?
Only for them to be owed salaries for months?
For Real?
nafeezi, see your people o. Import doctors from which county? Everyone wants to escape and u are saying importing doctors. Which doctor can survive with 18k per month?
We've suddenly become a scalar quantity......
Something is always wrong with you people. You don't pay doctors well & they leave. Now it's time to import & pay them huge. You are definitely not well.
Are they rice or car that you want to import....? please look for a better caption and remove the word 'import'.
Some people are planning to open office on top our taxes. Thought the said we had enough? So we export to import. Naija las las we will be fine.

' Nigeria may resort to importing medical professionals to address shortage.' - Dr Sodipo, Chairman Lagos Medical Guild. Headline fixed.
Lol
Shame on u, A.p.c. government, u have now crippled the health sector, I pity this country called Nigeria.
Does this not sound ridiculous? When our Labour Minister said he's not bothered by exodus of doctors to oversea countries! What a shame.
What a joke 😂😂
Medical Guild....whoever you are, you have gone 'Loco'
Doctors are now commodities to be imported to Nigeria?
Nigeria is under a curse, so obvious
Haha. I thought our docs are flying away cos of condition of service! Has d condition bettered to warrant importation?
From where? You can't keep the ones you have but you re willing to spend dollar to import from other country. Our leaders must be on drugs.
How will that not be when they are denying people of their dreams to become doctors... Imagine someone like me with a bachelor's degree in human anatomy (2nd class upper division). I've been trying direct entry for three years now, they always deny me
I thought Ngige said when u have too much of something u export it Buffoon

Lol 😂 🤣 🤣. The local production of Doctors in Nigeria you cannot cater for it is foreign Doctors that you can cater for? Isn't it an irony? Tell them that I said they're not well.
What happens to fresh graduates and unemployed.
Come and see more straws😂😂😂😂
And what about the unemployed doctor's,Nigeria will export them right,.
They'll rather import doctors than do the basics to make doctors stop leaving Nigeria? I don't even understand this people again. 🤦
What? I think we have enough a la Labour Minister!
Shameless people. Just as we import fuel while washing hands with oil. Import population, while we cry for overpopulation.
Import doctors from where, Somalia?
Go ahead, when there is plenty still unemployed, looking for housemanship placements!!!
