Despite the challenges confronting medical practitioners in the country, proactive efforts are being put in place to enhance local skills acquisition and training of medical personal in Nigeria.
At a press Conference held in Port Harcourt, The president of National Post Graduate medical college of Nigeria, Prof. Peter Ebeigbe said that brain drain has continued to deplete the number of medical personnel in the country and regular engagement with stakeholders in the health sector is needed to address the situation.
The college president has lamented that there is a significant reduction in the number of medical doctors in general practice seeking fellowship and specialisation in a given area in the college.
He further said that the National post graduate medical college of Nigeria had in the past graduated a total of eight thousand four hundred and eight medical specialists but there is a decline in the number of enrollment annually which has dropped to about three hundred and thirty eight.
A worrisome development that negatively affects the number of available medical specialist in the country.
The theme for the 18th annual scientific conference and all fellow’s Congress (ASCAF) is medical, education, research and practice pushing the frontiers amidst brain drain.
