_*WHEN IS TOO MUCH REALLY TOO MUCH*_
_*what we should all be worried about*_
I write this with great constraint, sadness and a profound sense of loss of faith.
In the last one (1) month, three doctors lost their lives. Three members of NARD lost their lives.
1. Dr. Salome Oboyi, A Senior Registrar in the Obs and Gynae department of BHUTH Jos
2. Dr. Jamila Umar Danhassan, A Registrar in Community Medicine Department of AKTH Kano
3. Dr. Akinjobi Carrington, A House Officer in LASUTH Lagos.
It would interest us all to know that this brings the number of Resident Doctors who lost their lives in the last four and a half (4 1/2) months to (10) ten.
It would interest you to also know that a Resident Doctor also tested positive (and eventually tested negative for Lassa Fever) in the last 2 weeks.
Will it not baffle your imagination to know that a Resident Doctor is battling for her life in a hospital in Enugu following a road traffic accident?
I am angry, I am scared, I am afraid I may be next, I am awake to my own thoughts these days and a prisoner to it. Nigeria, what have we done wrong as Doctors?
Life is just moving on in Nigeria as if nothing has happened.
Of the 9,000 resident Doctors at the federal level and another 1,000 at the state level, 10 have lost their lives in less than 5 months.
We have lost over 10,000 Resident Doctors over the last 10 years to Migration and we are on course to loose another 10,000 in the next 10 years with a net deficit of about a thousand (1,000) doctors per year.
New recruitment into Residency Training has dropped by more than 40% in the last few years.
Attrition rate out of Residency Training has also increased with over 4,600 doctors leaving the shores of Nigeria in 2024 alone.
I am sure, Nigeria did not produce more than this number of Doctors from our medical schools in 2024.
We now have more Senior Registrars than Registrars, more Senior Registrars than there are House Officers in Nigeria.
Add these (now regularly regular) deaths to the statistic, we are surely heading in the wrong direction.
Ten (10) is a few too many, especially in Nigeria where these 10 Doctors by population are suppose to cover at least 100,000 Nigerians with a doctor to patient ratio approaching 1:10,000. WHO recommends 1:600 to 1,000.
We have approximately 25,000-30,000 Doctors currently actively practicing at various levels and strata of patient care in Nigeria. To cover our entire population, we need over 300,000 Doctors.
What the above statistics mean is this. 30,000 Doctors are doing the Job that should be done by 300,000 Doctors. And off the 30,000, Resident Doctors are less than half of that.
When doctors die, or any health care professional die, it is a source for worry and panic.
Is this not a national crisis?
Doesn’t this deserve our attention?
What is killing our Doctors?
What may be responsible? (not in order of priority);
1. Excess work load.
2. Lack of Motivation and under appreciation.
3. Poor Remuneration and excess outstanding monetary arrears.
4. Challenges in career progression.
5. Lack of Job satisfaction.
6. Epidemiological and natural distributions of disease entities.
7. Security challenges.
8. Inability to afford services in Nigerian Hospitals.
9. All of the above?
10. etc
10 care givers gone.
10 healers gone when they were needed the most.
Why am I worried;
1. I can be next and the whole country would just move on and I become a statistic.
2. These hospitals would simply replace them with anyone alive, available and willing. And work will just continue as if…
3. The Nigerian Health Sector will just continue in its march to decline, silently.
4. Their families will never be whole again.
5. The Nigerian Government simply cares little or nothing. The next election is more valuable to Government, certainly.
6. The Nigerian People are simply too unaware, too poor, too distracted to even notice.
