This, the NMA said, has negatively impacted
the country’s health care system.
Speaking at the association’s maiden annual
lecture, theme: “Brain Drain and Medical Tourism: The Twin Evil in Nigeria’s
Health System,” on Monday in Abuja, NMA president, Professor Innocent Ujah,
said Africa, including Nigeria, was encountering a health workforce crisis.
Noting that human resources for health
represents one of the six pillars of a strong and efficient health system, Ujah
said, “The Nigerian health sector today groans under the devastating impact of
huge human capital flight which now manifests as brain drain.”
He said the huge amount Nigerians were
injecting into medical tourism was weakening Nigeria’s economy.
