Following the arrival of the 15-member Chinese medical team, the Nigerian Medical Association and the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria have declared they will not allow the Chinese attend or touch any patient.
Asides the donation of equipment by Chinese worth about $1.5m, including test kits, ventilators, disinfection machine, disposable medical masks, N95 masks, medicines, rubber gloves, protective gowns, goggles, face shields, infra-red thermometers and other critical care items, the 15-man medical team have specialties in infectious disease, respiratory illness, intensive care, cardiology, neurology, general surgery and anesthesiology.
“We cannot now precipitously make a decision. We are an Association that is bounded by ethics, and rules. In a very short while, you will hear our decision” “But we have categorically stated that the Chinese can’t attend to any Nigerian for whatever reason because this is unethical and illegal. The Chinese do not have the license to practice in Nigeria. And we do not need their hands as we are not overwhelmed and can take care of our patients.
Supported. What a heck. Nobody asked for their help. What do they know. Our govt have so much reduced us to nothing. The Chinese govt empowerment their people but our govt is doing the opposite. Nigeria doctors are skilled enough to handle d situation. Just provide what is needed
Very good NMA, they can treat those that brought them and members of their families who wish to be so treated
Please, let the Nigerian doctors make good their resolve.
They did well. Nigeria is good in discrediting their own products. This is the situation now with the indigenous doctors and all other medical practitioners in the country who had creditably combated the pandemic.
Them same-face looking mofos can be undercover agents o,check'em properly,check their background and shit
They dont want the chinese to uncover their trash ....
...that hasn't change the negative - the world including Nigerians have different perception. Media headlines today reads Chinese medical team arrives Nigeria to fight COVID-19. As if our doctors lack the capacity to fight the disease. I really do not get this country.
What a useless govt? The Chinese are treating Nigerians as goats in their country... while the Nigerian govt is here worshipping the Chinese. What a paradox?
That's a good development because they infected the whole world with Coronavirus.
Were Chinese doctors not go to Italy to assist? Are our doctors superior to the Italian doctOrs? The ego trip must stop.
Why in d world did they bring in d Chinese Countries with severe cases did not invite them, Nigerian government is a busy- body government.
I hope they won't end up infecting more people than the country have now. I am worried myself
Good decision Nigerian Doctors.. Buhari dnt have respect for our Doctors!!!
Nice one
I can't agree less with our doctors. Why is China offering to help where it is not needed? Why didn't they go to Italy, Spain, USA and other countries with high death statistics? Africa and Nigeria particularly has very low death index. Like Robert Kiyosaki said, it's fishy!
It's now time for the political cases of Corona virus to step aside while the original cases are set to begin. Chai..with this step that FG took, it's indubitably certain that Nigeria doesn't have sensible leaders at all. They're nothing but numbskulls and dumbasses.

I hope they are not carrying the virus to Nigeria.
This is risk But is also advantage for us to learn from them .God will protect us sha
So they were allowed into the country Government was aware of their coming, after all one cabinet minister once said 'we don't need doctors we have enough and if any medical graduate wants to leave the country and practice abroad so be it. Some of them become Tailors
It os better that you guys take a stand, what is needed in Nigeria is to equip the hospitals and not bringing in foreign doctors.
They should be isolated for 14 days first
Was the decision by government taken in collaboration with NMDC/NMA, and rule of engagement agreed upon? I hope we know that there are regulations guiding the practice of foreign-qualified doctors in Nigeria? If the NMDC were not part of the decision, then our doctors are right
MobilePunch Since buhari and his political thieves cannot travel out so they decided to import Chinese doctors, them swear for them to always do aproko?
Hundreds of foreign trained Nigerian doctors are still at home waiting to write compulsory assessment exam before Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria could grant them licences to practice in Nigeria meanwhile, Federal Government find it convenient to ferry in chinko medical team.
So why are they in Nigeria then
For what? Who invited them? Our government is just messed up.
They should not, and they should take their expertise away.
Why? Is good if they can work together and curtail the virus.
Trust broken. China mentioned anywhere in the world is now a a 'threat'. It will take a while to regain the confidence. Something may be fishy. 15 only. Are they coming to collect black human specimen?
These guys are not doctors. Theyre here to ensure the succesfull implementation of 5G
The drama unfolds
Very funny new on here, are they Doctors or 5G installers...... We awaiting to see there works..... 9jamycountry..
Which kind of leaders in this country? The Italy and Spain are facing the ailment of corona virus and China medical teams aren’t welcome in ds countries
Nsikak123 Simple
How much is Nigeria going to pay the Chinese doctors
Good
Good
I love this decision
Could it be that the came to treat the emperor and his boy who contracted the virus
Better. The best thing to do. Who invited them? China shouldn't be doing Chairman for us.
We don't need them, we have qualifying Doctors around.
We support you 100% NMA
Nigerians are Known to be arrogant and claim to know all things even though they know nothing. This is an opportunity to expose them to new health technology and learn from foreign experts other than 5 decades of equipment they have. Chinese and Cuban Doctors are in Italy now.
Federal government and his cohort are idiots
We can only hope that Nigerians will stand right by their words when they publish them to us - perhaps! We are praying for our leaders and all that are concerned on these matter. GodblessNIgeria
The posturing from the NMA in opposing the Chinese medical team is going too far.
Our Doctors are doing very well.
Why then do you invite them, when you know fully well that you will not allow them to touch or attend to any patient? Or do you want to say you're not aware of their coming? Please stop deceiving us
Who certified them ?because if u as a professional from Nigeria wants to work abroad there are Professional courses n seminars u must undergo.
Is the patient NMA property? Too much arrogance
Where is that man that said Nigeria has more than enough doctors and physicians in the country? NMA and NARD should not allow them touch any patient.
I’ll be happy if they are not allowed to touch any of our citizens!!!
westandwithourdoctors
Please stand by your decision don't let those manipulators carry out their cruel art. Oh what a waist d money that will b given 2 them, d money that should have be given 2 our most precious doctor and nurses who by God grace has put their life at risk since this pandemic began
Good decision...
Masu abun sun iso. Official arrival of Covid-19
I think d vaccine they came with should b first of all b tested in most affected counties over this issue of corocoro virus
They should be quarantine for 28 days please
I hope they are not in a mission, to be sent to where the emperor received 5% of votes, to effect them with the virus. Hate is running in supreme leaders blood.
Thank God for their decision...
Welcome
Pride comes before a fall. In life you must acknowledge the concept of superiority. All things are not and have never been equal. Allow the Chinese to teach you the best way to fight the Virus, it came from them and they've come off victorious. They know more than you.
Scam artist
God have mercy on Nigerians! Why did Nigeria government invite them in the first place? If our people die we all know the source of our problems.our doctors are capable to handle any situation.. If they are here for 5G installation let's see now. Let them go back to their country
Professional arrogance ! Even in developed countries doctors are collaborating across borders . This is the time for global collaborative care . NMA should shelve this pettiness !
And it all begins..
This Chinese will help activate the 5G
tovic1mcrookie I support their moves ... this an insult. Beside we don't have any case here ..... FG should stop this drama for heave sake
Not until they are offered Money!!
They are there for Buhari and his cronies
They should be thoroughly searched
Ghen ghen
am sure they came to install there 5G, pls they should not spray covid-19 in d air abeg.
Very good.
This just shows they’re here for different agenda just breaking this news so the masses will be calm we’re watching to see what’s going to happen next
Good. Best decision. Nobody can rubbish NMA
Ccecc is building with Nigeria money, someone is talking about about portfolio. They have projects across Nigeria and its not free. NGRPresident Please listen to Nigerians, They voted for you.
Nigeria, which way na
In one word, FGN should be held responsible if anything goes wrong. Kudos NMA and others for standing on your words and maintaining the standard.
Great!
And their tainted equipment should be scrutinized too for Chinese virus contamination.
I don't know why we don't believe our own people
Very good!Why the insistence,when majority of Nigerians are not comfortable with this.We say no to this.Let them go back plssssss..............
We don't need them!!!USA,spain and Italy where their is high rate of infected patients did not invite them,Yet Apc govt have decided to increase the virus here let's watch and see how the drama unfold.Buharitormentor
Dem for embark on nation wide strike.
THEY WOULD USED VIDEO CONFERENCING AND OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR RESIDENT DOCTORS INSTEAD OF CREATING FEAR IN THE MINDS OF NIGERIANS. NIGERIANS ARE NOT READY TO TRUST ANYBODY FOR NOW, I CAN TELL YOU THAT. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT HARMFUL BUT..........
At this point the Govt. doesn’t have to loose confidence on our health workers.... for crying out loud they have been doing a great work. Well this also has proven that the opinion of the people isn’t regarded
Are they normal
Buhari , his administration and his presidency are the greatest Pandemic that has ever befallen Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria needs to be cured of these people first before talking of curing Covid19.This administration will stop at nothing to kill u all wit hunger.Wake up people
Nice one
But while do will need them at the first place bcus I do not see a any need for this people to coming at the first like seriously and cool u guys with ur action not to aloud them touch anybody but u must also not let them in to the lab if u want the truth be told ok
Thank you, I hope it's true tho
Good idea, they should go to countries that has largest death cases, not here in Nigeria
That's very good
They should be quarantined first..... this their coming is suspicious..... follow for follow back lockdownextension Wuhan
They should be quarantined
Higher killings arriver NCDCgov/NigeriaGov we know your plans.
We have the best Medical personnel in the world. We don't need China-human-products
But they will touch those that will touch the patients who will then carry the touch And live happily ever after
Issoryt they're welcome
