Speaking on the current ” jappa,” syndrome of Nigerian Doctors and other health workers, Dr Kana called on his colleagues not to leave the country to other country to practice their professions as the present government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR was committed to the improvement of the health sector.

“On jappa syndrome, please I am appealing to our Doctors and other health workers not to leave our dear country. We don’t have another country. When you leave Nigeria now, you will still come back home, so let’s stay and salvage it together,” he said.

“Government will continue to recruit Doctors and privatise health care as part of its social responsibility,” he added.

He said that the essence of the meeting was to plan and strategize on how to manage the health care system in Nigeria.

Earlier, the President of the Nigeria Medical Association, Dr Uche Rowland Ojinmah said that the theme of this meeting: “Achieving Universal Health Coverage in a Depressed Economy” was deliberately chosen to reflect the desire of the Nigerian Medical Association for a Nigeria where the citizens experience zero out of pocket expenditure for healthcare services.

Dr Ojinmah said that the kidnapping of doctors and other healthcare workers was a major security menace that need to be addressed.
