Dear Ma,
REQUEST FOR INTERVENTION REGARDING HOUSEMANSHIP POSTING
REJECTION BY UCTH
I am writing to formally bring to your attention an issue concerning my recent
housemanship posting to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) and also on
behalf of 16 other doctors posted to this hospital.
Upon our arrival at the hospital on the 4th of January, the DCMAC Mr. Felix Archibong
suspended the admission of those posted to the center with a posting appointment letter from
the MDCN Centralised Housemanship Placement Portal Programme. On the 12th of January
he openly addressed the newly posted doctors and expressed concern, that majorly one ethnic
group (The Igbo) was selected for the current posting at UCTH, accussing us of paying our
way into getting housemanship placement in the hospital. He informed us that, due to this, we
would not be accepted until the matter is addressed by MDCN.
This development has left us uncertain about our posting status and has created unnecessary
anxiety as we prepare to begin our mandatory housemanship. This refusal by UCTH posess a
threat to the existence of the Centralised Housemanship Placement Portal Programme if other
accreditated centers were to adopt this method. We humbly request MDCN’s urgent
intervention to ensure a fair and peaceful resolution before the two weeks we were given to
report to our various centers elapses.
We remain committed to serving diligently wherever we are posted, in line with the Council’s
objectives and expectations.
Here's the list of the names and folio number of every affected house officers:

[Dr POPOOLA 🌐⚕️ @popoolaadaniel]

One of the hallmarks of being a House Officer in Nigerian hospitals, and honestly in many other African health systems, is being used to plug the gaps of a dysfunctional system.

Sometimes it goes even further.
House Officers are quietly turned into hospital maids.

In many institutions, the core role of a House Officer has drifted far from training. You are no longer primarily a doctor in supervised practice. You become an all-purpose attendant. Maybe this is the “pride” or “arrogance” other professionals talk about. Maybe we doctors believe we can do everyone’s job. Including the attendants’ job.

But this should stop.
It’s sad that this has become normal.

House Officers are not meant to be chasing blood bags up and down the hospital. We are not vampires. In a functional system, emergencies trigger coordinated responses. Attendants, porters, nurses, lab staff. Everyone knows their role, and everyone moves. Not everything requires a doctor to be physically present.

A patient needs to be wheeled urgently to theatre?
Send the House Officer.

Results are not ready yet?
Send the House Officer.

A sample must get to the lab urgently?
Send the House Officer.

And when you complain, the response is usually, “Things are even better now.”

Yes. I know.
But something being a lesser evil does not suddenly make it good.

There are countless non-training tasks House Officers are routinely used for. Many of them shouldn’t exist in the first place. I can’t even remember all of them anymore. If you do, feel free to add yours.

The painful part is this: in many centres, House Officers are incredibly busy, yet they are barely learning. Half the time, the “training” is in being an attendant, a laboratory runner, or a certified patient relative.

Busy, exhausted, and under-trained.
That’s not internship.
That’s system failure.
