The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has expressed dissatisfaction over the poor treatment of its members, urging the government to intervene.

The association stated that for the lingering crises in the health sector to be resolved, the government needs to prioritize and improve the health care delivery to Nigerians.

This position was made known by the National President of the Association, DR. BALA AUDU in Uyo, while briefing newsmen on the 2024 National Physicians Week holding in Akwa Ibom. He added that the event aims at recognizing Nigerian physicians’ dedication and highlighting the issues inherent in the sector.

AUDU emphasized the urgent need to retain health workers and boost the profession, while noting that poor treatment is the fundamental factor that propels health workers to seek better opportunities abroad.

The association aims to harness the collective strength of its members to advance in the health sector, hence the need for tangible actions to address the situation.
