 Medical doctors have warned that Nigeria’s healthcare system is under severe strain due to a worsening manpower crisis, with only about 55,000 doctors currently practising for a population of over 220 million people. The concern was raised at the Ordinary General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital (FNPH), Yaba, Lagos, themed “Too Few Doctors, Too Many Patients: The Consequences of Manpower Shortage on the Mental Well-being of Nigerians.” The doctors, including mental health specialists, said the shortage is significantly worsening access to psychiatric care, leaving millions of Nigerians without adequate treatment. They also disclosed that no fewer than 16,000 Nigerian doctors have left the country in the past five years, intensifying an already critical shortage in the health sector.

 A 6-year-old Illinois boy takes the life of his 2-year-old brother.


A shocking and heartbreaking death of a young child has left police and the community as a whole, shaken up in Joliet, Illinois.


Police were called to a home on the 2700 block of Fairway Drive at 5 p.m. on Friday. Once on scene, police were met with an unbelievable situation that's likely to be emblazoned in their memories.


The responding officers discovered a 2-year-old toddler suffering multiple stab wounds. As they investigated the scene, the awful truth of the situation became clear.


The toddler's 6-year-old brother had retrieved a kitchen knife while his mother was in the other room.  He then used the weapon to stab his little brother multiple times.


The injured child was rushed to Ascension St. Joseph Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.


The family is cooperating with the investigation and reports show DCFS had been called to the home 3 to 4 times for domestic situations since 2021.


The 6-year-old has undergone a mental health evaluation and is in the custody of DCFS. 

The Joliet PD is holding a stress debriefing today to help officers process the tragedy in the community. 


The family is not being identified at this time and there is no additional information.


Our thoughts are with the family of these children, the responding officers and EMS and the community as a whole as they mentally grapple with this incident.
