Ondo worst hit by medical brain drain – NMA

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Ondo State chapter, has disclosed that Ondo State is the most affected in the South West by the mass exodus of medical professionals.

The state government currently owes the health workers four months’ salary.

Dr. Stella Adegbehingbe, the state association’s chairman, claimed that doctors and other healthcare professionals had been leaving in droves due to what she called unfavorable working conditions.

While lamenting over the development during a press conference to herald the Annual General Meeting of the association, Adegbehingbe stated that irregular salary payment had been one of the major factors contributing to the issue.
