Over half of the Nigerian doctors who migrate from the country work in the UK, an official has announced.
Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, said 67 per cent of Nigerian doctors who migrate go to practice in the United Kingdom.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, Mr Pate also said Nigerians make up 25 per cent of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), adding that the NHS would be greatly impacted if Nigerian doctors withdraw.
