UK do not give doctors hazard allowance but we do in Nigeria – Minister of Health tells doctors seeking to relocate

July 17,2020
Share:

Minister of health, Ehanire Osagie has told doctors seeking to relocate to other countries like the UK that its just salary they will receive.

The Minister went further to add that in Nigeria , doctors get extra pay apart from their salary.

This is in the hope to attract them to stay back in the country.

He urged Nigerian doctors who were trained in the country to stay back and give back to the community other than running off to other countries.

In the past week , news broke out that 58 doctors were prevented from leaving Nigeria to the UK.

The Minister, Ehanire Osagie in reaction said ;

“We were all surprised to hear that they were at the airport. I think somehow or the other, it was irregular in that many of them did not have visas. I don’t know what evidence you have, maybe it’s a rumour that they have now left the country, I don’t know, but nobody should be leaving the country without visa.

“Those who have been trained by scholarship and they’re on a job have a moral responsibility to give back. Even now, we have large numbers of Nigerian doctors in the UK, in the United States, in Europe who apply to come every year to come and serve, even though they were not even trained here or they were not even trained at state expense.

“They have the obligation to come and give back to the community. It’s just a moral obligation. So, every year, it is called the diaspora health professionals initiative. Some of them spend their own money and they come here, bring equipment, materials, commodities. Every year, they come and help us.

“They really owe the country nothing, but out of a sense of obligation, which is really commendable and we are in fact trying to improve on that initiative now and to see that we get the best out of the experience and the cutting-edge knowledge and skills that they bring from abroad.

“So, even more so, those who are here, and you have been trained and you have a job, it is better to also give back to your community. And others who want to leave, Nigeria does not have a policy on restricting movement. But some countries do; some countries have that policy but we don’t.

“We are trying to make sure that the remuneration is good. I think we are one of the few countries that are actually giving this hazard allowance.

“Now, this UK where they are going to, there’s no hazard allowance. They don’t give doctors hazard allowance. You just get your salary, that’s all. I’ve spoken to doctors there and they said it’s part of their job, part of what they’re trained for.

“But here, apart from your salary, we still try to add something to it in the hope that we’re going to attract our people to stay.”
