The federal government has launched an initiative aimed at repatriating the expertise of Nigerian health professionals abroad to address the brain drain affecting the country’s healthcare sector.
The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Tunji Alausa, introduced the Nigerian Health Professionals in Diaspora Plus Engagement Programme during the Diaspora Stakeholders’ Forum on Thursday in Abuja.
Mr Alausa said that the programme sought to leverage the knowledge, skills, and experience of Nigerian healthcare professionals abroad to improve healthcare delivery at home.
