To transform the nation’s healthcare landscape, the Nigerian government has introduced a policy targeted at addressing the workforce challenges facing the health sector.
The new initiative, which is tagged: “National Policy on Health Workforce Migration,” is aimed at tackling “the critical challenges facing the country’s health human resources, aiming to manage, harness, and reverse the migration of healthcare professionals.”
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, disclosed this on his X handle on Monday evening, noting that the policy aims to stem the exodus of healthcare professionals.
