The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has raised fresh concerns over the growing exodus of medical professionals, warning that the trend will worsen unless urgent measures are taken to improve welfare and infrastructure in the country’s health sector.
Speaking at a press conference in Calabar at the end of the association’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, NARD President, Dr. Tope Osundara, called on the federal and state governments to provide competitive incentives to discourage doctors from leaving the country in droves.
