The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has expressed its displeasure over President Bola Tinubu's proposal to send Nigerian doctors to St. Lucia.
NMA Secretary General, Dr. Ben Egbo, said it is hypocritical for Tinubu to send Nigerian doctors to the Caribbean nation in a display of international generosity while doctors in Nigeria suffer abuse and neglect.
Egbo said doctors in Nigeria migrate enmasse to Western countries because of unbearable suffering, poor remuneration, unserviced welfare packages and agreements, as well as hazardous work conditions.
“Exporting doctors while undermining their welfare at home is inexplicable,” the NMA said. “While we support international cooperation, we cannot continue to prioritise the interests of other nations over the welfare of our healthcare workers."
