File copy: Doctors on dutyA medical doctor and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Save a Life Group, Dr. Richard Okoye, has said the condition of professors, especially in the health sector, has increased the number of younger doctors traveling abroad for a better deal.He stated that building a robust healthcare system was all about human capital development, saying it was important to reward people based on value addition.

Dr. Okoye, who would be decorated with the Sun Newspapers 2022 Public Service Award on Saturday, January 28, 2023 in Lagos State, stated that more attention must be paid to the country’s health sector. He stated, “A hotel can be a structure of a hospital. It is the kind of service that is being delivered in that structure that makes you call it a hotel or you call it a hospital.

“So, when it has to do with people compelled to travel out of the country, it is because that particular robust healthcare system has not been built. And how will it be built? “You have a number of people that have what is called super specialties. When you have the right infrastructure you also need somebody to man it.

“The issue remains that a doctor that goes outside and gets trained in some of these advanced methods of treatment, while he will be there he knows how much these doctors earn by reason of getting extra from that super specialty. And out of patriotism and passion for the people he will return back.
