NIGERIAN DOCTORS ARE ADVOCATING FOR A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY'S RETIREMENT POLICY. (PHOTO).


 Nigerian doctors are advocating for a significant change in the country's retirement policy.

 In a recent memo submitted to the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the doctors' association is demanding that the retirement age for medical professionals be increased to 70 years.


This proposed change is aimed at retaining experienced doctors in the healthcare system, addressing the shortage of medical professionals, and improving the overall quality of healthcare services in Nigeria.


According to the doctors, the current retirement age of 60 years is no longer tenable, given the increasing demand for healthcare services and the need for experienced professionals to mentor younger doctors. By increasing the retirement age to 70, the doctors believe that the country can tap into their wealth of experience and expertise.


"The current retirement age of 60 years is too early for doctors, considering the years of training and experience we acquire," said one doctor. "By the time we reach 60, we are just getting to the peak of our careers. Increasing the retirement age to 70 will allow us to continue contributing to the healthcare system and mentoring younger doctors."


The doctors' association also argued that the proposed change will align Nigeria's retirement policy with international best practices. In many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, doctors are allowed to practice well into their 60s and 70s.


While the proposal is still pending approval by the FEC, it has generated significant debate within the medical community. Some have expressed concerns about the potential impact on younger doctors seeking employment opportunities, while others have argued that the change will improve patient care and outcomes.
