RE:Borno State Govt Recruits 30 Egyptian Doctors

Instead of the usual comment, one our top notch commentators decided to write this long epistle when he wants given prominence.

As much as he was full of praises for the efforts of the Borno State government, he still wishes that more needs to be done to restore the past glories of our health system; furthermore, that our medical professionals are equal to the task. The only need to be motivated and we renumerated.

Hear him;

The Crisis of our Nation’s health system saddens me. I speak authoritatively on issues of health in our beloved Nigeria and as someone who has accessed the best their is that our professional Doctors, Nurses and health personnel could offer.
 
I was once admitted to Adeoyo General Hospital in Ibadan suffering from an infection of Tetanus or ‘Lock Jaw’ as my doctors would call it at the time. That I received the best treatment money could buy anywhere in the world is not in doubt. The professionalism of medical staffs and their caring was top notch.
 
I ask myself what has gone wrong from the hey days of the ’80s to our current medical status? Why can’t we just invest into our health system? Why can’t we work to eradicate preventable deaths in our hospitals up and down the country?
 
On the plus side, I commend the efforts of the Borno State government but we have got to invest more into our own, Nigerian health professionals…. JO

We do share your sentiments and look forward to better days ahead.

Borno State Govt Recruits 30 Egyptian Doctors

According to THISDAY;

Borno State government has recruited about 30 medical doctors and experts from Egypt, to take charge of the newly commissioned Umaru Shehu ultra-modern hospital, Maiduguri. Nigerian doctors based outside the country are also appointed. The state government  also directed all its 27 local government areas  to recruit at least one medical doctor and two nurses, for each of the comprehensive health centres  at all the local government areas of the state.

I was just wondering the rational behind the decision and it really beats me. Read carefully the words in italic to show you that the Nigerians employed were just to make it up.

In the characteristic Nigerian way, I hope federal character was applied in the employement if not I hope there are subsisting labor rules that makes it imperative as obtains here in the UK that no UK or European citizen is qualified to hold such position before giving it to a foreigner.

To the best of my abilities, Nigeria ‘harvest’ more medical doctors than any other country in Africa to an extension the world. Talking about well trained, Nigerian trained doctors have proven themselves outside the shores of Nigeria. We are not talking about application of attendant technologies in medicine.

I think it is high time the North rid itself of this imperialist thinking that have perpertually under-developed it and hindered the overall development of Nigeria.

This brings me to this clip below. Does it really mean this policy of the 60’s by the North still exist in today Nigeria?

What do you think?

Please see this clip and have your say too; Remind us if you can who the first speaker on the clip was in 1964? ** Clip is not about FELA**
