Brain Drain: Nigeria’s National Hospital loses 17% of workforce

The National Hospital in Abuja says the brain drain plaguing the health sector has reduced its workforce from 3,000 to 2,500 (about 17 per cent loss).

This is in spite of its 25 years of medical breakthroughs and significant staff expansion, the hospital said.

The Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital, Muhammad Raji, discussed these challenges in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.
