Ali Pate, coordinating minister of health and social welfare, says incentives will be provided to keep Nigerian healthcare workers in the country.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Pate said Nigerian-trained health workers are in high demand, adding that 67 percent of them who leave the country head for the UK. “Does the UK, for instance, want to consider expanding the pre-service education? Can we have corridors that allow us to have a compact that ‘you’ll take so but you will also help us train more so you will replace them’? That is in the realm of health diplomacy and ethical replacement.
