Nigerian doctors yesterday called on governments at all levels to create a “greener pasture” for them instead of celebrating United Kingdom’s restriction on their employment and planning legislation against their migration.
Also yesterday, the Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP) kicked against a bill seeking five-year compulsory domestic service by Nigerian-trained doctors.
The U.K., through its recent Code of Practice for the international recruitment of health and social care personnel, placed Nigeria and 52 other countries on the red list. By the policy, active recruitment of health workers from the 53 countries is not permitted in line with World Health Organisation (WHO) Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List 2023.
