He praised the medical director as an inspiration to Arewa women and a role model for her efforts in leading the hospital’s transformation.

Dr. Armiya’u explained in her remarks that the hospital moved from providing only psychiatric services to also providing antenatal care, radio imaging, and dialysis services.

Why Nigerian doctors migrate to African country – NARD

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has lamented the mass migration of its members to other African countries.

NARD said the lack of better working conditions and infrastructure is causing a lot of brain drain in the health sector.

The association is expressing its concern ahead of its announced plan to picket the Federal Ministry of Health, Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, and all federal and state tertiary health institutions nationwide from Wednesday.

The move is the latest in the resident doctors’ efforts to expedite the implementation of a prior agreement with the Federal Government, including the immediate payment of the 2023 MRTF, the immediate release of the circular on one-for-one replacement, and the payment of skipping arrears.

Speaking when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, NARD President Dr Emeka Orji, noted that working conditions in the Nigerian health sector had deteriorated to such a degree that resident doctors were migrating to foreign countries.
