Buhari laments brain drain of doctors from Nigeria, other West African countries

"The flight of doctors and nurses to other continents has resulted in a significant gap between the required treatments for NCDs and the available treatments and care."Nigeria’s President, Muhamamdu Buhari, has lamented the brain drain the country’s health sector, saying the exodus of doctors and nurses from West African countries was detrimental to the health needs of citizens.

Speaking at the virtual groundbreaking ceremony of the African Medical Centre of Excellence, a landmark hospital project that will significantly transform the healthcare sector in the West African sub-region, the president said the challenges faced in the health sector require collective will, partnership and more resources, especially in tackling brain drain.

According to the president, in addition to providing comprehensive care across the three critical care areas, the AMCE will offer educational services to develop talent and establish itself as a world-class research centre, in partnership with global institutions such as Kings College Hospital and Christies Hospital in the United Kingdom.

President Buhari said the rising cases of non-communicable diseases in Africa are well established, adding that, “Cardiovascular ailments, cancers and haematological disorders have increasingly become matters of concern to public health cares. These ailments are now the highest contributors to non-communicable disease mortalities, representing more than 81% of all NCD deaths in West Africa.”

President Buhari said the AMCE will provide world-class medical services at par with the world’s best hospitals.
