A Senior Registrar in Psychiatry, Dr Samuel Aladejare, has identified brain-drain, limited slots and complicated recruitment process as major factors responsible for the limited number of psychiatrists in Nigeria.

Aladejare, President, Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos State, made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Lagos.

According to him, there are limited slots available for graduates in the medical field, who may wish to be psychiatric doctors in Nigeria. Psychiatry is the study and treatment of mental illness, emotional disturbances and abnormal behaviour. Aladejare also said that apart from the limited spaces, the process of recruitment into the system was tedious and demanding.The psychiatrist added a greater percentage of professionals in the field sought for greener pastures abroad.

He said: “If the few who finally became psychiatrists are practising in the country, it would have been better; but the issue is that 80 per cent of them are migrating to other countries.
