Experts hope to halt brain drain by improving medical competency

Experts hope to halt brain drain by improving medical competency

 

Experts at the maiden edition of the medical education summit are seeking solutions towards improving the number and competence of the medical education and practice workforce.

They believe this will help to retain the workforce in the health system and stop the recent overwhelming brain drain through advancing medical competency in graduating medical doctors and increasing the numbers.

The world health organisation recommends that the doctor patient ratio should be at one doctor to six hundred patients.

In Nigeria, this has fallen short of this recommendation with one doctor available to treat about thirty thousand patients in some southern states and about forty five thousand patients to one doctor in the North.
