NSSF Proffers Solutions To Brain -Drain In Nigeria’ Healthcare System

The Nigeria Solidarity Fund (NSSF) has proffered solutions and recommendations to stem the tide of rising brain-drain in the nation’s healthcare system.

This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the funds talk shop on brain-drain in the health sector, titled “Nigerian Healthcare System and Brain -Drain  —  Step up or Sink”.

NSSF said that the discussion was organized as an advocacy strategy with the aim of highlighting current challenges in human capital flight in the Nigerian health sector, and proffering solutions to same.

The discussion was also a rallying call for individuals and organizations to partner with NSSF on strengthening the healthcare system in Nigeria.

The communique highlighted the following challenge’s in Nigeria” healthcare system;  poor working conditions stemming from epileptic power supply, dilapidated hospitals, interprofessional rivalry; security challenges exposing doctors to kidnapping and harassment from patients’ relatives.

Others included non-existent training opportunities, delays in payments of salaries lasting as long as 23 months in states such as Abia and Imo; and poor follow through of government policies.

The communique argued that it was difficult to train a doctor today to replace the experience and knowledge of consultants (who are leaving).

According to the communique, the enumerated factors  above are in stack contrast to conditions in the West, where salaries and emoluments are paid in a timely fashion; equipment are available and modern; and general conditions are conducive.

The communique said that Nigeria’s healthcare system is in crisis, adding that the system is currently receiving only 50 per cent returns on its investment in the healthcare workers, particularly doctors, since data shows only 50 per cent of registered doctors are practicing in Nigeria.

The communique noted that NSSF seeks to address this by identifying and funding high impact solutions that are in line with government strategies.

“Support for human resources for health is in line with NSSFs priority of Strengthening the healthcare system which is a complex system that is incomplete without available healthcare workers.

“NSSF pools resources from individuals and corporate organisations to support national response to the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted various sectors and worsened migration of healthcare workers,” the communique said.

The communique, however, acknowledged the efforts made by government in solving the problem of brain-drain.

” This included: examining the statistics and the push factors, embarking on a reform program chaired by Vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

” Negotiating for better pay and infrastructure, establishing the National Health Act to empower workers.

“Establishing the basic health care provision fund, which was created as a source of sustainable and predictable financing for health.

“Exploring mutually beneficial partnerships with countries that have high numbers of Nigerian healthcare workers in a bid to strengthen the healthcare sector in Nigeria

The communique said that if the following recommendations are followed through, brain- drain in the nation’s healthcare sector  will be a thing of the past:-

” Government should commit to implementing agreed policies such as hazard allowance which took eight (8) months to negotiate and is yet to be implemented.

“Revitalizing the health committee: the health committee to perform the duties it was set up for.  stakeholder engagement:

“Government should convene roundtable discussions with relevant stakeholders to discuss workable solutions.

” Government should identify data gaps and research agendas and use the information gathered to understand and address brain drain as well as the risks of the health care system completely breaking down.

‘ Government should work towards increasing patriotism by meeting the basic needs of the average citizen and creating an enabling, conducive environment

“Regular disbursement of Basic Healthcare Provision Fund,” the communique added.

Discussants at the talk shop included: Dr Ngozi Azodoh, Director, Department of Health Planning, Research and Statistics (DHPRS), and  Professor Innocent Ujah, the immediate past President of Nigerian Medical Association and Vice Chancellor, Federal University of Health Science, Otukpo, Benue state.

Also, Dr Fejiro Chinye-Nwoko, General Manager/ CEO, NSSF, contributed to the discussion.
