Buhari’s Minister Wrong For Saying Nigeria Has Enough Doctors, Also Failed To Consider Experience Of Old Hands–Medical AssociationNMA President, Dr Uche Ojinmah, said Nigeria does not have enough doctors “based on the facts available to them”.

Earlier on Tuesday, health minister, Dr Osagie Ohanire said Nigeria has enough medical doctors, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was working to replace medical doctors leaving the country. “He must have been misquoted because from 1960 to 2020, we have produced over 80,000 doctors and 5,000 dentists registered with the Medical and Dental Council.“When you remove those that have died, those that have left the profession and those that have joined politics as well as those that have stopped practising, it will come down to about 40,000 or 50,000 doctors.

“Even if we agreed that the 2,000 to 3,000 doctors are enough, these are doctors that will go for house jobs, and then go for youth service and you are using it to equate consultants, medical officers long time medical officers, paediatricians, etc. that are leaving the country.”
