Japa: Medical students should sign five-year bond to tame medical exodus

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo, Prof. Adesegun Fatusi, has advised Nigerian government that medical students in government-owned institutions be made to sign a bond to serve the country over a period of five years before they can go abroad after graduation.

Fatusi made the advice on the sideline of the six-day Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Association of Clinical and Academic Physiotherapists of Nigeria which ends on Oct. 21 at UNIMED.

“I believe firmly that anyone who has gone to government school under government sponsorship must be bonded to serve the country for five years before he/she goes and I have absolutely no apology for that. “But instead of serving for a number of years, they could buy back the years by refunding the money used in training them.

“So, what the developed world continues to do is to steal from us. We need to be wise and open more opportunities to train more students. If you do that and some go away, the percentage that will remain is likely to be higher,” he said.
