Nigeria is one of the 55 nations that developed nations should not actively recruit medical personnel for, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
A new safeguard list of 55 nations that are most affected by the scarcity of health personnel was recently released by the international health organization.
While the majority of these nations fall into the low- to medium-income category, 37 of them are in Africa, and Nigeria is one of them.
In Abuja, Dr. Olumuyiwa Ojo, Technical Officer Human Resource for Health at the WHO office in Nigeria, stated that the organization is concerned about the brain drain in Nigeria since it has a significant influence on universal health coverage.
He pointed out that the WHO has a code of conduct for hiring foreign medical personnel that is universally enforceable across all nations.
Ojo clarified that the afflicted nations are those where more developed nations shouldn’t actively seek out medical personnel from these nations.
