The Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria has urged the government to reabsorb retired consults into the health sector.
In the communiqué jointly signed by Dr. Victor Makanjuola and Dr Yemi R. Raji, the National President and the Secretary-General, respectively, the MDCAN lamented that there is a persisting and deteriorating shortage in medical manpower, cutting across all levels and cadres of health professionals, resulting in failure to fill up advertised vacancies by most of the hospitals in the country.
“The shortage of healthcare manpower has impacted negatively on the quality of healthcare services offered to the citizens. In addition, the wellbeing of the few remaining healthcare workers is equally not spared as many often suffer burnout”, the communiqué said. “In the interim all efforts should be made to retain willing and productive consultants after the current age of retirement, as a stop gap measure to cushion the effects of the massive brain drain in the health sector.
