“If the country is conducive enough for doctors to stay, they will remain. Paying them good salaries and not taxing all their income will make them feel comfortable.”
– Dr. Benjamin Oluwatosin Olowojebutu, First Vice President, NMA

"The @nhia_nigeria has been quite effective, but only civil servants seem to benefit. The informal sector, especially those in rural communities, needs more inclusion."

Very recently, we took a relative of mine to the hospital, the doctor ordered a UDT. On getting to the lab, they said they didn't have the reagents to carry out the test, but someone was going to come on Monday to do it, "hold 10k cash for the test".

@Jebzmanchini urges the media to advocate for doctors until the government addresses their concerns.
