The association said the migration has left many public health facilities short of staff, forcing those who remain to cope with longer shifts and rising patient numbers.

Communities in both urban and rural areas are feeling the pressure.


According to the NMA, doctors are leaving in search of better pay, safer environments and improved working conditions.

Popular destinations include the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and parts of the Middle East.


The body urged federal and state authorities to take urgent steps to improve welfare, upgrade facilities and create an environment that will encourage medical professionals to remain in Nigeria.
