Dr Adewole’s flippant response was that such people did not have to be doctors and could choose to pursue careers as farmers and tailors.
The Nigerian House of Representatives has just had second reading on the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act Bill, 2022, which would make it compulsory for graduates of medical schools to work in the country for five years before being eligible to receive their full license. If passed, the law is meant to check the migration rate of medical professionals to other countries.
The Nigerian Medical Association has 75,000 Nigerian doctors registered with it, and over 33,000 have left the country.
