June 4, 2023 10:39 AMThe Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has asked President Bola Tinubu-led administration to declare a state of emergency in the nation’s health sector.
In recent times, the relocation of several healthcare professionals from Nigeria to other countries has raised concerns — a development that has retrograded the state of the country’s health sector. said a total collapse of the health sector is imminent if urgent steps are not taken to address the brain drain in the sector.
The doctors said the funds from the subsidy should “should be put into meaningful investments” to better the lives of all Nigerians.They also asked the government to set up a “high-powered panel to review and harmonise the reports from the former President Obasanjo’s Health Agenda for Nigeria Committee and the former Vice-President Osinbajo-led Health Sector Reform Committee”.
NARD also demanded at least a 200 percent increment in the consolidated medical salary structure and the associated allowances as contained for its members.
