A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Concern Medics Foundation (CMF), a group of Nigerian doctors living abroad, and the National Hospital for Women and Children, Abuja, with the aim of reducing brain drain in Nigeria.

According to ZINGTIE, the deal was signed in Abuja by Dr. Sadiya Gumi, the chairperson of CMF, and Professor Raji Mahmoud, the hospital’s chief medical director.

The partners in the partnership, according to Gumi’s statement made available to ZINGTIE on Wednesday, wanted to work together to address the problem of medical brain drain by making it easier for Nigerian doctors living abroad to become involved in a two-year rotation program at the National Hospital in Abuja.

Gumi went on to say that CMF and the hospital recognized the opportunity to lessen the threat of Japa syndrome among medical professionals in the nation and to convert brain drain to brain gain involving Nigerian doctors living abroad.

24 doctors from around the world have enrolled in the pilot program, she continued.

According to Gumi, a few of the doctors from the diaspora were experts in general practice, pediatrics, adult medicine, anesthesia, psychiatry, and surgery.
